I’ve been looking for a good way to visualise assets that are connected with relationships in CDF. A birds-eye graph-like visualisation of how our data is organized. And I think Canvas could work as a good platform for it. 

Say, for example, that I add a powerplant to my canvas, I would have loved to be able to by the click of a button add all related assets (perhaps only assets of a certain type) to the canvas, and have a connection drawn between them, and even a text-label indicating the type of relationship. Then, if I later add another asset to the canvas, I could get labeled connectors between this new asset, and the assets that already existed in the canvas. 

This could even be implemented with some sort of auto-organization of the canvas, where assets (or other resources) that are more closely connected gravitate towards each other.

Hi @Kristian Nymoen,

 

Great suggestion, thank you for sharing! 
We have this initiative on our roadmap and it’s planned for Q3-Q4. 

When we are closer to this development, if it’s ok to you, would like to reach out and discuss the use case in more details and share some ideas of how this could look like. 

Thank you,
Andreea.

Hi ​@Kristian Nymoen,
 

Unfortunately we have to reschedule this development due to other topics with higher impact.  
It’s still on our roadmap but on a longer term. 

Still, today, it is possible to see in Canvas all these connections between different data types. Please let me know if I can help you with more info. 

Thank you,
Andreea.
