Viewing Your Data
Cogynt Workstation offers both data visualization and tools for detailed data analysis. This work occurs within a workspace. A variety of widgets usually comprise your workspace.
Analysts use widgets like building blocks to develop meaningful workspaces where they do their work. Widgets are placed within and dragged between these workspaces to aid analysis related to specific types of data or existing events. Some common examples of Cogynt at work include:
- Viewing the details of events, including attributes such as
risk_score
, and charting those changes over the event's history. - Building link analysis nodes to visualize networks of connections.
- Plotting individual or groups of contacts on an interactive map.
- Exploring or adding to existing collections.
- Exporting developed collections into detailed reports on demand.
Next, you'll set up a workspace to see some of these features for yourself.
Set up a Workspace
A workspace is completely customizable. Multiple workspaces are recommended for complex analysis. Here, you'll set one up and see all your data in one place.
From the left side drawer of the Workstation homepage, either:
- Click + New Workspace to create a workspace.
- Click an existing workspace to open it.
Tip
Create and name workspace templates to quickly duplicate specific workspaces containing useful widgets like Object Details Viewer, Events Stream, or Notifications. Analysts can duplicate these workspace templates and continue work on multiple topics at think speed.
Workspaces need widgets to analyze specific events or data from a stream, such as a map or a link analysis widget. Widgets not only help to visualize data, adding Custom Field Templates provides a space for analysts to provide feedback via reports or itemized lists and selectable menus within events.
To add widgets to open workspaces:
- In the left side drawer of any open view, click the grid icon to Add Widgets. A modal opens containing a list of widgets.
- Locate the widget to add to the workspace from the list, and then click ADD.
- Repeat Step 2 as needed for each desired widget.
- Click the close icon (X) beside Add Widgets to the Workspace to close the drawer.
A workspace is updated and saved automatically as you add and manage the widgets housed within it. You can resize and adjust widgets to suit the needs of any given workspace.
