Use graph mode

Quiver provides two view mode options for building your analysis: Canvas mode and Graph mode. In Graph mode, cards are represented by nodes on the Graph and inputs and outputs are represented by the links between cards. You can build your analysis directly in the Graph by using the analysis menu header and the side panels.

You can see the active view mode and switch between view modes by opening the view mode dropdown at the upper-right corner of the screen. Note that adding cards to your analysis on the graph will also make them visible in Canvas mode (and vice-versa), so you can toggle between the two modes in the course of your analysis.

Viewing a card on the Graph

From the canvas, you can switch to Graph mode to view card dependencies by selecting one of two options available in the More Actions menu at the top right of a card:

• View in Graph will switch the view to Graph mode centering on this card with the context of all other cards on the graph.
• Focus in Graph will switch the view to Graph mode in Focus mode which will only show the card selected and its dependencies. To see the entire graph again click on 'Exit Focus'.

Card interactions in Graph mode

• Single-click on a card to select it; the selected card will be highlighted in blue. Underlying data will appear where relevant.
• Double-click on a card to zoom and center the card on the screen, open the card editor on the right-hand side, and, where applicable, display the Next actions menu under the card.

The next actions menu presents common actions that a user may want to perform next from the specific type of node.

Graph navigation

At the lower-left hand side of the Graph, you will find buttons for zooming in/out, zooming to fit all cards on the screen, and resetting the layout of the Graph.

You can also adjust the Graph layout by click-and-dragging cards to the desired location. Note that changes made to the layout of the Graph are not saved. This means that if you switch to Canvas mode, or leave the analysis and then reopen the analysis, the Graph will be reset to the default layout.
