Working with the Results page

Use the Results page to:

• Calculate the centrality measures you selected in the Options page
• Display and analyze results in the Results table and on the chart
• Analyze results further by using the commands in the Actions Pane.

The Calculate command label displays the centrality measures currently selected on the Options page.

Click Calculate to start generating the social network analysis results. Progress is displayed in the status bar.

It takes Analyst's Notebook longer to calculate results for large charts. The length of time depends on the number of items in the chart and the number of centrality measures that need calculating. If a lengthy calculation is taking place, the chart is unavailable but you can still work with other charts while the calculation runs in the background. The chart must remain open for background calculations to take place; closing the chart cancels the calculation. The tab of a chart displays a progress wheel to show that a calculation is taking place. Progress of each centrality measure calculation is displayed in the Results page and can be canceled individually at any time. If the chart is not displayed when the calculation is complete, the tab of the chart starts flashing.

When results are calculated, they are displayed in the Results table and added to the chart items as attributes. A separate attribute class is created for each centrality measure. You can display these attributes on the chart by using commands in the Action panel. You can also display the attributes in the attribute classes table of the Attribute instances page. These attributes are displayed in the attribute classes table in yellow shading to show that they were added automatically by Analyst's Notebook.

If link weightings are used, an attribute that is called weightings is automatically added to links after calculation.
