Select a Case

The main purpose of SFHub Visualizer is to provide a means for reviewing display or report details and running Case analyses. Display or report details consist of cases, which are made up of various elements that are linked together by connections, and contain attributes. Most often, it is the Element and it's Attributes in a specific Case that you need to review.

To select a case:

  1. In the left panel, click the Case Search icon.

    A Case Search panel displays.

    Cases panel

    The Case Search panel is divided into four areas:

    • Search criteria: The search filters allow you to narrow the scope of the Cases displaying in the Cases list by allowing you to set a date start, end and/or range and/or type of analysis to which to confine the search.
    • Create a Case: In this area, you can select to open another panel that allows you to create a Case for a specific type of analysis for which no Cases currently exist in the display you have selected.
    • Filter by Name: In this area, you can type a specific name to filter the Case list by. The cases are filtered by the name, with the most recent date range at the top and the oldest date range at the bottom.
    • Cases list: This area displays the list of all the Cases available for review that match the search criteria you choose. The first time you open the Case Search panel, the Case list is empty. Once you set a date range, that same range is used as your default for the model, until you set a different range.

  2. Enter the date range to search for relative Cases.

    Note

    You must provide a date range.

    You can manually enter the month, day and year or select them from a calendar.

    b. Type the new date in the box; do not enter the slashes; the system does that for you.
