Networks: node size shelves

Network visuals enable you to change the size of the nodes.

By default, the nodes of a network visual have the same size. This visual has two data shelves, Source node size and Target node size, that produce a chart with nodes that represent values in the dataset.

To specify the size of the nodes, follow these steps:

  1. Add the Seed 1 field to the Source Node Size shelf.
  2. Click the Score 1 field on the shelf, to see the FIELD PROPERTIES menu.
  3. In the FIELD PROPERTIES menu, select [ ] Enter/Edit Expression.
  4. In the expression editor, specify a new calculation as a max() aggregation function, with an alias: 
    max([Seed 1]) as 'Seed'
  5. Click VALIDATE & SAVE.
  6. Add the Seed 2 field to the Target Node Size shelf.
  7. Click the Score 2 field on the shelf, to see the FIELD PROPERTIES menu.
  8. In the FIELD PROPERTIES menu, select [ ] Enter/Edit Expression.
  9. In the expression editor, specify a new calculation as a max() aggregation function, with an alias: 
    max([Seed 2]) as 'Seed'
  10. Click VALIDATE & SAVE.
  11. Click REFRESH VISUAL.
    You can see the change to the appearance of the visual: the tooltips for the visual to point out the size difference between Baylor (seed 3) and Xavier (seed 11):
