Create a Network

The Ingestion configuration assigned to a Collection can include instructions to automatically generate or update a Network every time a Collection is processed. For example, when adding documents or reprocessing a Collection.

However, occasionally you may wish to create a Network independently of that process, for example, to examine different aspects of the data contained in the Collection or to test a new configuration.

Create a Network

  1. Select the Project.

  2. Navigate to one of the following tabs:

    • Select the Projects tab and then select the Create a Network button:

    • Select the Networks tab and select the Create tab at the bottom of the Manage Networks pane:

  3. Select the Collection from which to generate the Network.

  4. Select the Network Creation configuration from the Configuration dropdown.

  5. Unselect the Generate Clusters checkbox if you do not want to cluster the Network. (You usually want to cluster the Network.)

  6. You can leave the Network name blank to use the Collection name as the Network Name. Enter a name for the Network if required, for example if a Network with the Collection name already exists.

    When the Collection name is the same as the Network name, they are linked, indicated by a folder icon beside the name of the Network.

  7. Select Create.

    • If you created the network from the Networks pane, the Network is created and opened.

    • If you created it from the Projects pane, the Network is created, but not opened.

Rename a Network

When a Network has the folder icon , it is associated with a Collection. If the Network is renamed, this connection is broken. To maintain the connection, instead rename the Collection. When the collection is renamed, the Network will be automatically renamed to match the Collection name.

To rename a network:

  1. Select the Rename icon for the Network you want to rename.

  2. In the Rename this Network dialog, enter the new name for the Network.

  3. Select Rename.

Copy a Network

To copy a network:

  1. Select the Copy icon for the Network you want to copy.
  2. In the Copy Network To dialog, give the new Network a name.
  3. Change the Security level for this new network, if required.
  4. Select Copy.

Delete a Network

When you delete a Network you cannot undo the action.

To delete a network:

  1. Select the Delete icon for the Network you want to delete.
  2. Select Delete.
