Knowledge graph ​

The graph draws your links as a network. It is for the questions a list cannot answer — what is this connected to, and what is that connected to.

Two modes ​

Explore starts from one record and walks outward. Pick a seed with Choose entity, or arrive here from a record's "View in graph" action.

Whole graph shows everything you have linked, in one picture. It is capped so it stays legible rather than becoming a hairball.

Moving around ​

Click a node to select it — the panel shows what it is and its relationships. From there:

  • Center here re-roots the exploration on that node, walking outward from the new centre;
  • Open record leaves the graph for the record itself.

Re-centring repeatedly is the intended way to travel: each step reveals the next neighbourhood rather than showing you everything at once.

Filtering by type ​

The Types control limits which kinds of record are drawn. Turning off the type that dominates your data — usually tasks — is often what makes the structure visible.

Email nodes ​

One node type is not a link you made: email addresses, derived by matching addresses across records. They connect things that share a correspondent.

That is why the graph sometimes shows a connection you do not remember creating. It is not wrong — it is the one inference Kancil makes, and it is usually the interesting one. Email nodes route to Mail; they are not records you can link to by hand.

What it is not ​

The graph is a reading tool. You cannot create links by dragging nodes together — links are made on the records themselves, through the Related panel. The graph shows you what is there.

Kancil — one workspace for contacts, work and money.
