The diagram shows all existing systems as nodes. SAP^® systems are highlighted in blue.

Marked systems are indicated by a tick.

The size of the nodes and connection arrows depends on the number of connections.

The diagram and the table are adjusted according to the filter. You can remove the focus on the element by right-clicking it again. The selection itself remains unchanged.

Right-click the empty area next to the diagram and click Select all clusters. All available clusters are selected in the diagram. The table now only displays the data records of the selected clusters.

Table

By default, page 1 contains the first 25 entries that correspond to the applied filters. If there are more rows than are displayed, you can browse the other results in the table. Adjust the page size as required.

You can use the Search field to find any values in the table. You can also set a filter on each column. The amount of values that you can select depends on the filters that you have already set. The number of active selections is displayed below the search field.

You can use the text search fields below the column headers to filter for specific values in a column. You can also use wildcards. Click Add selections to filter to include your selections in the filter.

You can click Export to Excel to export selection criteria and statistics as Excel files. The content of the file depends on the filters you have applied to the table and the columns you have selected.
