Network View

The Network View shows all players and their relationships as an interactive force-directed graph. It helps you see the structure of a case at a glance — who connects to whom, which parties are central, and how different sides cluster.

Opening Network View

1. Open your timeline
2. Click the Network tab in the view switcher (alongside Timeline, Split, Data)

Reading the Graph

• Nodes represent players (parties, attorneys, companies, etc.)
• Edges represent relationships between players
• Node color indicates the player’s side: plaintiff, defendant, third party, court, or neutral
• Node size reflects the number of connections
• Labels show player names

Interacting

• Drag nodes to rearrange the layout
• Click a node to select a player — the right panel shows their details, relationships, and linked events
• Hover over an edge to see the relationship type
• Zoom with scroll or pinch gestures
• Pan by dragging the background

Filtering Events from Network

When you click a player node:

1. The right panel shows the player’s details
2. You can see all events involving that player
3. Click an event to navigate to it in the timeline view

This makes it easy to trace a specific party’s involvement through the case.

Tips

• Network View is most useful once you have players and relationships defined
• Add relationships via the Data tab or let Thea extract them from documents
• Use player sides and entity types to make the color coding meaningful
