Relationship graph

In Cortex, use the relationship graph to better understand:

• Dependencies
  • Visualize how entities relate to one another
    
• Domains
  • See a hierarchical diagram of your software architecture
    
• Teams
  • View your company's team structure
    

Using the relationship graph

You can access the relationship graph in different ways:

• From the main nav: Navigate to Tools > Relationship graphs. By default, the page displays all entities with dependencies and how they relate to one another.
• From an entity details page:
  • While viewing an entity, click Dependencies in its sidebar. On the Dependencies page, click View graph.
  • While viewing a domain or team entity, click Children in its sidebar. On this page, click View graph.

If you have more than 500 nodes, you must select a filter before the graph will display.

Select an entity type

At the top of the page, choose which relationships you want to view: Dependencies, domains, or teams.

Filter the graph

You can apply filters to narrow the scope of the graph:

1. Click Filters at the top of the page.
2. Apply filters for the following options:
   • Sources
   • Groups
   • Entity types
   • Degrees from selected node

The page will automatically apply your selected filters and reload the visualization.

Select a display option

At the top of the graph, click Display options to select a Scorecard to filter the graph by.

View more details on an entity

In the graph, click an entity to open a modal that contains a description of the entity, a link to its entity page, the ability to filter the graph by the entity, and a list of its dependencies.

Adjust appearance settings

You must have the Configure settings permission.

Under Settings > Appearance in the Relationship graphs tab, you can select whether to display dependencies, domains, or teams by default when you first open the relationship graph.
