Spaces

Spaces

In this chapter, we look into spaces and what you can do with them. Spaces are containers of visualizations shared with user groups. A space can be shared with one or multiple groups. Users who are part of the groups the space is shared with can access and edit all the space’s contents.

As shown below, you can see the list of spaces you have access to on the left section of the page. On the right, you can see the folders and visualizations that are created in the currently selected space. To ensure a common understanding of who has access to a space and its content, below the space's title information on the groups the space is shared with is shown. When clicked, a detailed list of the users belonging to each group is displayed.

Managing visualizations in spaces

Users who can access a specific space can do the following by right-clicking on the visualization tile:

• Creating a visualization

  • Users can create visualizations within the space. Click the New visualization button to create one.

• Opening and editing a visualization

  • Users can open a visualization in two ways: by double-clicking on the visualization tile or by right-clicking to open the context menu. They can then make changes to the visualization in the workspace.

• Moving a visualization

  • Users can move visualizations to any folder within the space. Moreover, users can move visualizations from their private space (My visualizations) to a public space.

• Editing informations of a visualization

  • Users can change the name and description of any visualization.

• Duplicating a visualization

  • Users can make a copy of visualizations within the space and location they are in.

• Deleting a visualization

  • Users can delete visualizations for all users permanently.

IMPORTANT

Users who have access to a space can edit all visualizations stored in that space (i.e. they can open and edit, move, rename, duplicate, and delete these). However, only one user can edit the visualization at a time while other users who open it will be in View-only mode. See Managing visualizations to know more.

Managing folders in spaces

Folders can be created in any space to organize visualizations. Users can do the following:

• Creating a folder

  • Users can create folders within the space. Click the New folder button to create one.

• Opening a folder

  • Users can open a folder in two ways: by double-clicking on the visualization tile or by right-clicking to open the context menu. They can then make changes to the visualization in the workspace.

• Moving a folder

  • Users can move folders to any folder within the space.

• Renaming a folder

  • Users can change the name of any visualization.

• Deleting a folder

  • Users can delete folders for all users permanently. However, the folder must be empty (i.e., no visualizations nor folders inside).

Import CSV files

Users with permission to create and edit nodes and edges can import new data using the CSV import functionality.

To start importing data, go to the Dashboard and click Import data from CSV.

Importing CSV Files

Step 1: Select Template

Choose one of the available CSV import templates.

Templates define:

• Whether the import creates nodes or edges
• The target node category or edge type
• How CSV columns are mapped to datasource properties

Only templates shared with you (or available to all users) will appear in the list.

After selecting a template, click Next.

Step 2: Select File

Upload the CSV file you want to import.

Make sure:

• The file structure matches the selected template
• The delimiter matches the one defined in the template
• The column headers are consistent with the template configuration

Once uploaded, a preview of the file will be displayed so you can verify that the data is correctly parsed.

Step 3: Review mapped data

In this step, you can review how your CSV columns are mapped based on the selected template.

Verify that:

• Each column is mapped to the correct property
• Required fields are properly filled
• Data types appear correct

For edge imports:
Make sure that the source and target node identifiers are correctly mapped. The values in your CSV must match existing node identifiers in the graph; otherwise, the edges cannot be created.

If everything looks correct, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Import data

Click Import to start the import process.

Once the import begins:

• The system will validate and process the data
• You will be notified when the import is complete
• Any errors or failed rows (if applicable) will be reported

After completion, the newly imported nodes or edges will be available in your graph.
