Explore related events

An event is defined and configured within the Ontology. Event metadata identifies its time and description properties, with legacy event type classes supported as a fallback. Both start and end properties must be designated for event time filtering, but an individual event can have an empty end value and be treated as open-ended by the filter. You can also configure its color and severity. Read more about setting up and configuring events.

Once you create and configure your event objects, you can interact with them dynamically through your system graph.

View events

Events linked to a selected object will show up in the selection panel and as badges on the object for the duration of the event.

Event badges

Event badges are configured within the layer styling options. Select the object type for which you want to show event badges, and choose the linked events option to add badges to nodes or edges on the graph.

Event objects

To see the full detail of the event, you can add the associated object to the graph. Right-click on the object to which the event is related, and select the Search Around option to find the event object (in this case, a Flight Delay event).

Once added to the graph, you can select the event object to see the full details and properties in the selection panel.

Events in the series panel

Right-click on an object and select Open linked events to open and add the event to the series panel. From here, you can use the time selection to scrub through time and move through multiple events.
