Networks: link color shelf

By default, the links of the network visual have the same thickness and length. Network visual has a data shelf called Link color that uses a specified palette to plot different link colors.

To specify the link color categories, follow these steps:
  1. Choose the appropriate palette, as described in Networks: link color menu.
  2. Add the round field to the Link Color shelf.
  3. Click the round field on the shelf to see the FIELD PROPERTIES menu.
  4. In the FIELD PROPERTIES menu, select [ ] Enter/Edit Expression.
  5. In the expression editor, specify the max() aggregation function, with an alias: 
    max([Round]) as 'Round'
  6. Click VALIDATE & SAVE.
  7. Click REFRESH VISUAL.
    You can see the change to the appearance of the visual:
