Highlighting connections on your chart

When you have a list of connected items in the List Most Connected Pane, you can use that list to navigate these items on your chart surface, and highlight information.

Ensure that you have the List Most Connected pane open, and that you have some results to view. For more information, see List the contents of your chart.

  • Highlighting status - The color that is being used to highlight the connections on the chart surface.
  • Icon - The icon that is being used to identify the entity.
  • Label - The label text.
  • Count - The number of links or link records of the selected type in the view.
  • Distribution - How the count of the selected link or record type is reflected in the overall link count for the entity.
