Create a data card

You can create a data card to save a summary of a specific record as a content item. To create a data card, you can start from any view—knowledge graph view, maps, and link charts—as well as the global search.

Entity data card

An entity data card summarizes the properties and connected records of an entity .

The display expression and entity type are displayed at the top of the record view. For example, if the type of entity represents a company, the display expression might show the company's name.

The Overview tab in the record view is active by default and shows a preview of the entity’s properties and relationships. The One-hop Neighbor Link Chart displays the entity and its relationships. If the entity is spatial and has a geometry, a map of the entity’s location is displayed.

1. Click Preview Map to show a preview of the spatial location.
2. Click the Properties tab or View All Properties on the Overview tab to view the properties.

   All properties of the selected entity are listed. For example, an entity of type Company might have properties such as company name, and the year it was established. Property names appear in the Name column, the property's data type appears in the Type column, and property values appear in the Value column. If the year it was established is unknown and a value has not been set for this property, <Null> appears in the Value column.

   

3. Click the Relationships tab or View All Relationships on the Overview tab to view the relationships.

   All relationships defined between the selected item and other entities in the knowledge graph are listed. Each relationship's type appears in the Relationship column. The entity with which the selected item is associated is shown in the Entity column.

   For example, if the selected entity is of type Company, it might have a relationship such as WorksFor. An expression identifying the employee entity appears in the Name column.

   

   Similarly, if the selected entity has the type Company, it might have multiple WorksFor relationships listed in various rows in which each row identifies an employee. An expression identifying each Person entity appears in the Name column of the appropriate row.

4. Optionally, navigate to connected relationships and entities through the relationships table in the data card.
   • Click a relationship in the Relationship column of the relationships table to navigate to a relationship.
   • Click an entity in the Entity column of the relationships table to navigate to a related entity.

   The selected record opens in the knowledge graph view.

Relationship data card

A relationship data card summarizes the properties, and origin and destination entities of a relationship .

The display expression and relationship type are displayed at the top of the record view.

The Overview tab in the record view is active by default and shows a preview of the relationship properties and connected entities. The One-hop Neighbor Link Chart displays the origin and destination entities of the relationship.

1. Click the Properties tab or View All Properties on the Overview tab to view the properties.

   All properties of the selected relationship are listed. For example, a WorksFor relationship might have properties such as start date and position. Property names appear in the Name column, the property's data type appears in the Type column, and property values appear in the Value column. If a property's value is unknown and has not been set, <Null> appears in the Value column.

   

2. Click the Entities tab or View All Entities on the Overview tab to view the entities.

   The origin and destination entity of the relationship are listed. The display expression for the entity appears in the Name column, the entity’s type appears in the Type column, and the relationship with which the selected item is associated is shown in the Relationship column.

   

   You can navigate to connected entities through the entities table in the data card.

3. Optionally, click an entity in the Entity column of the entity table to navigate to a related entity.

   The selected record opens in the knowledge graph view.
