Network Graph - How to Colour Nodes based on a Nodes' Status

[anujc30]

Hi Team,

I am new to alteryx and have been playing around with the network analysis tool to render a network graph. Now it renders the graph perfectly but for it to be insightful i would like to do 2 more things that i need some help with:

1. Colour each node based on its status (RAG)

2. Add metadata info to each of the nodes.

Context: Each node represents a data science model/feature and the edges represents how they are related to each other. Now, a model/feature might fail due to upstream data issues or some error in code. If it fails the nodes' colour should be red else green. 

Additionally, for showing the error log on each of the node I want to add that metadata info in the network graph.

Can someone please help me out with this ? I can do the data wrangling but I am not sure where does the network analysis tool options are hidden that would let me visualise those 2 additional things.

Regards,

Anuj

Can you use Group Nodes option at Nodes tab?

Please refer [Help]-[Sample Workflows]-[Predictive tool samples]-[Predictive Analytics]-[24 Network Analysis tool].

The workflow use the option.

Thank you so much ! That works to colour the nodes. 

How can i show some metadata as tooltips/labels on these nodes ? Is there an option for that too or a workaround ?

Hi @anujc30 

As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any such option.

It is automatically labeled by the "name" Field at the N anchor.
When you change the data, the "From" and "To" at E anchor must also be matched.

Hi @AkimasaKajitani  @anujc30 

i am also trying to color nodes based on a variable but keep getting below mentioned error:

Error: Network Analysis (13): Tool #4: Error in graph.data.frame(d = x, directed = directed, vertices = vertices) :

Workflow works fine when i disable group and remove variable we are trying to use for grouping/coloring nodes.

Could you please help me with possible solution?
