Visualization with Sentinel
Visualizer
Interconnected data is difficult to understand
using traditional tools. Sentinel Visualizer provides advanced visualization surfaces to help
you find meaning from complex information.
- Find hidden relationships
- Identify clusters and patterns
quickly
- Perform ad-hoc analysis, and test theories and scenarios
- Organize complex networks into manageable groups
 Flexible
Visualizations
Sentinel Visualizer provides 2D and 3D network link chart visualizations.
Automatically build network charts with complete control over
layout and appearance. Query the knowledgebase for entities and
relationships, and the system automatically organizes the data into a
coherent and visually clear network. With Visual Styles, you have
complete control over every aspect of appearance, including images,
colors, fonts, and line styles. Full support is also included for
panning, zooming, and ad-hoc data analysis.
 Visualization
and Analysis Together
Sentinel Visualizer provides
automated
analysis that makes it easy to rank and group complex data
by a variety of criteria. This capability is directly connected
to our visualization tools. You can map analysis results
directly to your visualization's appearance. Use colors,
gradients, and other visual cues to quickly acquire patterns,
groups, and clusters.
 Temporal Analysis
Only Sentinel Visualizer provides timeline views of data and
dynamic time “Sliders”. The Timeline view shows all entity and
relationship start/end date/time data in an scrollable view,
making it easy to see events, overlap and other time-based
patterns. The unique Time Slider allows you to define a time
“window” and move the Slider back and forth to see how the
network data changes over time.
Geospatial Visualizations
Sentinel Visualizer includes an integrated Geospatial viewer.
Any data with latitude and longitude values can be shown automatically on the map.
Filter the network view by geographic area or use the Geo-Query to
find new data by geographic location. Full support is included for
raster and vector views, as well as detail settings and full
printing and graphic export support.
 Direct
Knowledgebase Integration
Since the visualization surfaces are directly connected to your
knowledgebase, you have
immediate access to comprehensive information about any object
in the network. Click on an entity and display comprehensive
narrative and metadata content. The Details pane provides quick access
to the key data points for entities and relationships.
Multiple Automatic Layouts
Sentinel Visualizer provides a variety of new automated layout
functions that make it easy to quickly organize networks into
several configurations. Layout functions include circular,
orthogonal, hierarchical, incremental, and force-directed.
Additionally, a variety of options allow you to customize
various aspects of each layout type.
 Seeing
the Data that Matters
The visualization tools allow you to quickly filter for specific data or remove incomplete data and
noise. Filters let you control exactly
what entity and relationship data you want, and easily switch between
different views. Use the Squelch control to dynamically hide low-value
data based on variety of criteria. For example, you can link a
Slider to information credibility. As you move the Slider, only
highly credible data is shown. Since Squelch is a dynamic
feature (the chart changes as you move the Slider), you can
quickly see patterns and groups that were previously hidden.
 Collaborative
Visualization
Sentinel Visualizer lets you turn your work into sophisticated reports
and presentations. Save diagrams and "what-if" analysis for sharing
within your team, with titles and narratives to describe your work.
Sentinel Visualizer handles all security issues—if your diagram includes
secure information, only users with appropriate permissions can view
it. You also can share knowledge externally with a variety of
reporting and exporting options: print diagrams and customized
reports, or export them in image, PDF, Word, Excel, or web page
format.
 Visual Styles
Sentinel Visualizer offers user-configurable display properties for the
graph view of networks. In addition to the default display
style, you have complete control over colors, icons, pictures,
line widths, alpha-transparency, and a host of other parameters.
Visual Styles can be named and saved, allowing users to maintain
a set of favorite styles—each optimized for the task at hand.
For example, you could employ the standard configuration for
viewing networks at 100% zoom level, or a high-contrast
configuration for working with very large networks.
 Multi-Monitor Support
Sentinel Visualizer includes the ability to work with more screen
“real-estate” while using the Analyzer to view and analyze
networks. This is accomplished with direct support for
multi-monitor displays, along with and the ability to move, dock and resize
any of the toolbars. You can even move toolbars to a second
monitor to maximize the screen area available for viewing larger
networks.
