The network chart mod visualizes relationships and connections between data points. It is useful for display of data, where multiple types of relationships exist, by providing an interactive and configurable network representation. To perform an in-depth analysis of relationships within the data, panning and zooming capabilities are available.

This network chart is a force-directed chart, which means it simulates forces between the network nodes to render a visually appealing and understandable representation of a network.

Network charts have many use cases. You can use them to analyze connections between people through online, social, and physical interactions, to detect fraud, to analyze products, trends, and impact in for example marketing and sales, to analyze processes and data correlation, and even to provide explainability in data science and machine learning models.

Data Requirement

To make the network chart mod work properly, the underlying data must be formatted in a certain way. A data table with at least two columns is required. One column should contain nodes in the network, for example, names of people or objects. A second column should contain values that have a subordinate relation to the nodes in the first column. These two columns are referred to as Column1 and Column2 in the Network Chart Properties.

For detailed information on data requirements, the available settings, and an example of how to set up the visualization, read the mod's community article..
