iBridge allows you to expand your current chart by adding further chart items from
the database which are linked to your existing chart items. There are settings which allow
you to specify how the Expand operation is performed, for example to set the number of
expansion levels and whether to include common neighbors and connecting links.
To expand your chart do one of the following:
-
Select the entities from which you wish to expand, and in the Data Sources Task
Pane, click Expand.
-
Check your current Charting Settings right-click, and select , where database is the name of the iBridge
database.
When you have selected the Charting Settings you require, select the entities
from which you wish to expand your chart. Right-click on one of the selected
entities, and from the shortcut menu, select , where database is the name of the
iBridge database.
iBridge expands the selected entities according to the Charting Settings and
adds the additional items to your chart.
Note: To abort
this operation during the expand, press the Esc key. Any parts of the
expansion which are complete will remain expanded.
