The Case Manager widget allows you to Visualize and communicate key relationships between entities.
About Cases
A case is a way of segmenting the source data in a community. A case could be an investigation into a subset of entities, a repository of interesting activity pertaining to a specific subject, or a sub-set of similar documents which you would like to group together.
Using the Widget
You can use the Case Visualizer widget to view the relationships between multiple entities. You can import these relationships to the widget using drag and drop from many of the other Infinit.e widgets (eg. Document Viewer, Entity Significance, Event Graph).
Adding Entity Relationships to the Graph
To add entity relationships to the Case Visualizer
From a supported widget, select at least two entities.
Click on the "Drag+Drop" icon, in order to drag and drop the entities into the visualization workspace. A dialogue box is displayed prompting you to accept the creation of a specific amount of entity relationships and nodes.
- Click on Ok.
The entity relationships are displayed on the visualization workspace.
Manually Adding a Node
In some cases you will want to manually add a Node to the graph, and indicate a relationship yourself,

Click the desired note type on the editor menu and drag onto the graph.
