What can I do with Networking?
Searching and viewing networks: The following types of networks are shown in the Networking module and are personalized to the logged in user:
- Created Networks display the list of created networks in the space your logged into. Networks can be shared across an account.
- Connected Networks display the networks your space has made a connection.
- Available Networks display the list of networks the you have access to view and connect.
Sharing columns via a network: Pick Measures, Attributes, Custom Groupings, and Saved Expressions from a subject area then drag and drop them to form the definition of the shared columns in the network. You can also drag and drop an entire subject area.
Sharing a network: Networks can be shared either "private" with specific users, account groups, or space groups, or "public" with all users in the account. When sharing privately, make sure the users already have Modeler access
Exploring and Connecting to networks: View available networks and additional information (name, origin space, created by, updated by, # projects imported into, # users connected to the network, description).
After exploring networks, connect to the network of your choice with a single click. Connecting to a network makes it available in Relate.
Blending with networks: Connected networks display in Modeler Relate categorized by the network name and broken into the dimensions/measures within it for easy data modeling. Networks can be blended by creating relationships between local dimensions and connected dimensions. The Network shared measures and attributes are magnified in this image.
Reporting on connected networks: Connected networks display as custom subject areas in Visualizer for logically accessing the shared columns and for personalized end user reporting.
