Setting the default path for Centrifuge

If you use Centrifuge Desktop from Centrifuge Systems to visualize and display entity graphs, you must specify the file path to Centrifuge Desktop inside the Visualizer. After the path is configured, the Visualizer displays a Centrifuge button on the Role Alert ID tab and the Entity Resume tabs in the Research window. You can use this button to access your Centrifuge Desktop and graph entity data directly from the Visualizer.

About this task:
Default path settings are configured for each local Visualizer client. By specifying a default path using this task, you only set the path on this local Visualizer.
Procedure:
  1. In the Visualizer, click File Preferences.
  2. Click the System Preferences tab.
  3. In the File Paths section in the Centrifuge path field, do one of the following:
    • If you know the complete file path to the Centrifuge Desktop executable, enter the file path or URL (uniform resource locator) in the field.
    • If you want to browse to the Centrifuge Desktop executable, click the button to the right of the field, select the appropriate directory and file, and then click Open .
  4. Click the Submit button. A confirmation message opens that states that you must restart the Visualizer for your changes to take effect.
  5. In the confirmation message, click the OK button.
  6. Close the Visualizer.
  7. Open the Visualizer and log in again.
After you open and login to the Visualizer again, you will see a Centrifuge button on both the Entity Resume and the Role Alert ID tabs in the Research window.
