Focus on a Field
Focusing the graph filters it to highlight the connections related to a specific container or field, dimming everything else. This is useful when the graph is dense and you want to isolate the flow of a single asset.
Info
Focusing is a view-only action. It does not change any data; it just dims unrelated nodes and edges so the connections of your focus stand out. Click the canvas background or pick another target to clear the focus.
Steps
Pick the tab that matches what you want to focus on.
Use this flow to highlight every connection that touches a specific container.
Step 1: Click the container header of the node you want to focus on. The node becomes the active selection.
Step 2: The graph dims every node and edge that is not part of the focused container's lineage, and highlights the connections that flow through it. To clear the focus, click the canvas background or select another node.
Use this flow to highlight every connection that touches a specific field.
Step 1: Expand the fields list on the node that contains the field you want to focus on, then click the field row. Fields that participate in at least one field-level connection show a lineage indicator that helps you spot them.
Step 2: The graph dims every connection that does not touch the focused field, and highlights the field-level edges that reach it across the entire visible graph. To clear the focus, click the canvas background or select another field.
