Customizing the relationship visualizer

Updated on January 13, 2022

Visualizer uniquely represents the parties and relationships using icons and color coding. The visualizer also allows the users to filter the view based on certain pre-defined criteria like party type, relation types, and the parties themselves.

Pega Client Lifecycle Management for Financial Services Implementation Guide
The visualizer comes preconfigured with default icons, color coding, filters, and data that UI displays. The system provides some extension points that you can use to customize them based on customer needs. If you need to make changes to these extension points, review the following rules.

digraph-layout-ext.js JS fileDefine any new actions or UI interpretation in this extension for the .js file for the visualizer graph
digraph-layout-extCSS fileDo not set the new styles for the category in the .css extension file.

The visualizer can navigate up to the bottom most node of the relationship network and present all the relationships on the UI. By default, the system is configured to navigate and present parties that are only ten level deep from the contracting party. To configure the setting based on the customer's need, perform the following steps.

  1. In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.
  2. Expand the SysAdmin category, and then click Dynamic System Settings.
  3. In the Dynamic System Settings tab, search for and select RPNewGeneration/maxDepthRelNet.
  4. In the Settings tab, in the Value field, set a valid integer value that represents the depth the visualizer must look for relations, for example, 5.
  5. Click Save.
