Configuring the Visualizer
You can configure a variety of settings that affect how you see
information in the Visualizer.
- Setting display options
You can customize the Visualizer display by changing the background
color, font, and other display options on the Window Preferences tab.
- Setting the default path for UMF files
When you manually load a UMF file using the Visualizer, you must
specify the full path and file name, unless you have already configured the
default path on the System Preferences tab.
- 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.
- Setting role alert display options
Although the types and number of role alerts is initially set by
a system administrator, you can customize how role alerts display in your Alert
Summary window.
- Setting minimum threshold score values for search entities
When you look for an entity using either the Find By Resolution
feature or an attribute alert generator in the Visualizer, you select a minimum
score threshold as part of the criteria: Is Entity, Close Entity Match, Good
Relationship, and Any Relationship. Your choice determines the strength of
entity and relationship resolution the system uses to find and return search
entities. While IBM Relationship Resolution comes with default values for
each minimum score threshold, you can change the values for one or more of
these thresholds on the Visualizer's System Preferences tab.
- Setting Visualizer graph options
You can customize the graph settings you see in the Visualizer,
by changing the color or thickness of lines on the Graph Preferences tab.
- Setting Visualizer log options
You can turn Visualizer client logging on or off by configuring
Visualizer log options. By default, Visualizer client logging is turned off.
Generally, you only turn on Visualizer client logging to assist you and your
administrator with troubleshooting.
