Relationship graph

Last updated 2 months ago

Was this helpful?

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

View 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:

Filter the relationship graph

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

Select a relationship 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

  • Whether to hide team nodes without children

  • Whether to hide archived entities

View more details on an entity

In the graph, click an entity to open a modal with the ability to:

  • Filter by this node

  • Go directly to its entity details page

  • View a list of its child entities or dependencies

Adjust appearance settings

You must have the Configure settings permission.

While viewing an entity, click the Dependencies tab. In the row containing the entity you want to view in a graph, click the 3 dots icon, then click View in relationship graph.

While viewing a domain or team entity, locate an entity under the Hierarchy header. In the row containing the entity you want to view in a graph, click the 3 dots icon, then click View in relationship graph.

Under , you can select whether to display dependencies, domains, or teams by default when you first open the relationship graph.

Settings > Relationship graph
Visualize dependencies in the relationship graph.
Visualize domains in the relationship graph.
Visualize teams in the relationship graph.
Select dependencies, domains, or teams.
Click a node to open a modal with more information.
