Viewing the pattern of collaboration on a share

1. From the Workspace tab of the Management Console, navigate to the list-view of the Data Source tile.
2. On the list-view page, select the share for which you want to view the collaboration graph. The summary panel at the right hand side populates with additional details about the share.
3. Click the profile arrow to view the profile of the share.

   The Overview tab displays by default.

4. Click Social Network Map. Or right-click the share, and select Social Network Map.

   Data Insight displays a visual representation of the users accessing the share. Edges connect users collaborating on folders within the share during the given time period. The users are grouped into clusters based the collaborative activity on the share. The cluster groups are also color-coded such that collaborating users have the same color.

   The graph displays the collaboration of the users within their cluster and also across all cluster groups that are represented in the graph.

5. Information on the right-hand panel helps you analyze the Social Network Map in detail. Also, the selections that you make here are summarized in the top panel.

   Click Summary. The Summary panel displays the following details:

   • The number of active users collaborating on the share

   • The number of sensitive files on the share

   • The number of weakly-connected users, if any

   • The list of cluster groups in the graph

   • The primary attribute that is configured for users in each cluster group, and the number of users for each attribute value.

6. Click a cluster group to view the top folders under which the users in the cluster are collaboraitng. You can also view the number of users for each attribute value in the cluster group.
7. Click Outlier Analysis to view the distribution graph which shows the distribution of connections within a cluster per user. You can also render the graph to view the number of users with a given range of connections within a cluster or across clusters.

   From the drop-down, select Total, Within Cluster, or Cross Cluster, and enter the range of connections. For example, you can highlight users in the graph that have 5 to 7 connections within a cluster group.

8. To further analyze the data, do the following:

   • Select a cluster group to highlight it in the Social Network Map.

   • Select one or more attribute values to highlight users with the selected attributes in the cluster.

   • Or, select a cluster and one or more attributes to highlight users within the selected cluster.

   Note:

   If you select different values across different filter criteria, the filters are applied together. Whereas, the filters are evaluated serially, if you select the multiple values within a filter criteria.

9. Click Exclusions to filter the map to view the collaborative activity of only the users with the attribute values that you are interested in. The panel displays a list of configured attributes for users in all the cluster groups that are represented in the map.
10. Uncheck the attributes that you are not interested in. Data Insight renders the graph again by eliminating the users with the selected attributes values.

    You can also choose to exclude attribute values when rendering maps for large social networks.

11. Mouse-over or click a user in the graph to view the attributes configured for the user. The pop-up also displays the details of the connections that the user has within the cluster group and with users in other cluster groups

    Click View Audit Logs to view the activity for the selected user.

12. Click the Export icons to export the data that is represented by the Social Network Map in a .csv file.
