Hi @Laura_Firey!

Quick question. What is the easiest way to expand all relations in Explorer?

I understand one can expand each node by right clicking, then Expand by.

But is there a way to expand all relations of all nodes?

Thanks!

Hi @danielbakas! To expand all relations at once, make sure your search bar is empty and set the filter to "All" (see image below). Once you press enter, you will expand all relations for every node in the visualization.

Thanks Anvitha - this is a great way to see the data model including all defined relationships.

@danielbakas When you have any nodes (classes or instances) displayed, you can double-click the node to expand all relationships. You can also right click a node and there is an option the menu to Expand all relationships.

Our Explorer training might be helpful for all the functionality available in Explorer.

Hi @Anvitha_Anumolu and @Laura_Firey!

Thank you for your answers!! Both very useful.

I am just wondering what's the best way to expand all nodes' relationships simultaneously.

Some way to select multiple (or all) nodes and then expand them.

Hope this clarifies the question.

Thanks a lot! :smiley:

@danielbakas The best place to learn how to use Explorer is in our product-specific training, Explorer Training. This training covers actions such as multi-selection and expansions.

Holding shift allows you to select multiple nodes (or you can right click a type from the legend choose Select all), once the nodes you are interested in are selected, you can right click any one them and from the context menu choose Expand by -> All Relationships.
