Work with Knowledge Studio projects

In ArcGIS Knowledge Studio, your work is organized in projects. A Knowledge Studio project is a workspace for exploring and analyzing knowledge graph data. Each Knowledge Studio project contains an investigation that includes a reference to the knowledge graph, a knowledge graph view, and a dashboard view. The investigation can also reference maps, link charts, and data cards.

Content item types

A Knowledge Studio project can have five content item types: the knowledge graph view, maps, link charts, data cards, and the dashboard view. Each content item opens in a view based on its type. Content items open in new tabs, and you can have 13 tabs open at the same time.

All Knowledge Studio projects include a knowledge graph view and a dashboard view, which cannot be removed from the project. All other items are created through workflows and can be removed.

Knowledge graph view

The knowledge graph view Knowledge graph is one of the default views in a Knowledge Studio project. The knowledge graph view allows you to explore the entities and relationships defined in the investigation's knowledge graph.

Maps

You can create maps Map in a Knowledge Studio project to visualize the spatial entities in a knowledge graph.

Link charts

You can create link charts Link Chart in a Knowledge Studio project to visualize, analyze, and dynamically explore a knowledge graph.

Data cards

You can create data cards Data card in a Knowledge Studio project to capture a snapshot of a single entity or relationship in the knowledge graph.

Query view

The query view Query View is one of the default views in a Knowledge Studio and allows you to query the knowledge graph to find a subset of the entities and relationships it contains and identify how different entities are connected.

Dashboard view

The dashboard view Dashboard view is one of the default views in a Knowledge Studio project and provides an overview of the contents of the project. It lists the entity and relationship types in the investigation’s knowledge graph and the maps and link charts that are in the project. It also summarizes the portal information related to the project, including the referenced knowledge graph, the project creation date, who created it, and when it was last modified.

You can click the name of a map or link chart in a project to open it directly from the dashboard view.

Rename maps and link charts

You can rename maps and link charts in the dashboard view.

  1. Click Options Options on the content item and click Rename item Rename item.

    The rename modal appears.

  2. Provide a new name and click OK.

The content item is renamed. If the content item is open in a tab, the tab is updated with the new name.

Create a project

You can create a Knowledge Studio project from the Knowledge Studio landing page or by opening a knowledge graph item from your portal in Knowledge Studio.

Create a project from the landing page

From the Knowledge Studio landing page, you can browse, search, filter, and sort portal content to find the knowledge graph you want to work with and add it to a project. A new investigation is created in the project, allowing you to analyze the knowledge graph's content.

  1. Click Create New Project.

    The Create New Project wizard appears.

  2. Optionally, provide a title for the project in the Project Title text box.

    The project is untitled by default.

  3. Use the Filter box and the My Contents drop-down menu to browse to or search for the knowledge graph Knowledge graph you want to investigate, choose the knowledge graph, and click OK.

Create a project from a knowledge graph item

You can also create a Knowledge Studio project from a knowledge graph item in your portal.

  1. Open the item details page of the knowledge graph item.
  2. Click Open in Knowledge Studio.

A new Knowledge Studio project opens and lists the content items of the project. The project starts with the knowledge graph view and dashboard view. You can explore the knowledge graph further in the knowledge graph view.

Note:
New Knowledge Studio projects are not automatically saved.

Open an existing project

You can open an existing Knowledge Studio project from the Knowledge Studio landing page or by clicking the Knowledge Studio project item Knowledge Studio project in your portal.

The Knowledge Studio landing page lists all projects that you can access in your portal.

  1. Browse to or search for the Knowledge Studio project you want to open.
  2. Click the project title to open it.

Rename a project

By default, a Knowledge Studio project has the same name as the knowledge graph it references. You can rename a project at any time.

  1. Click Edit Project Title Edit Project Title next to the project title on the title bar.
  2. Provide a new name for the project and press Enter.
  3. Click Save Save in the main menu to save the project.

A Knowledge Studio project must be saved to retain changes to the project. If you refresh your browser without saving the project, all content items and views will be reset to the last project state you saved.

To save a Knowledge Studio project:

  1. Click Save Save in the main menu.
  2. Clic Save in the drop-down menu.
  3. Optionally, Click Save As in the drop-down menu to save your work as a new project in your portal.

The project and all changes are saved to your portal.
