Expanding Relationships

Automatic Relationship discovery

When you add records to the canvas, Octostar can automatically discover and draw the Relationships between the new nodes and any records already present. This means the graph builds outward as you add data.

Edges

Edges are labeled with the Relationship name. When multiple Relationships exist between the same pair of records, they are drawn as arcs to avoid overlap. Edge labels follow the same level-of-detail system as node labels: they hide when you zoom out and reappear as you zoom in.

Browsing Relationships from the sidebar

Select a node to view its Relationships in the right sidebar. From there, you can add connected records to the canvas to expand the graph further.
