Viewing the Model Relationship Graph

The Model Relationship Graph gives you a visual map of how your data models relate to each other through reference fields. To access it, select Graph in the segment control at the top of the Models page — no need to leave the page.

Use the graph to understand inter-model dependencies before deploying changes, troubleshoot unexpected reference behavior, or communicate your data architecture to stakeholders.

Prerequisites

• You must have the MDM - View Models privilege to view published models.
• At least one model with a reference field pointing to another model must exist in your repository.

Key concepts

Reference field — A field in one model that points to a golden record in another model, creating a relationship between the two domains. For example, a Contacts model may reference an Accounts model via an Account field.

Segment control — The toggle at the top of the Models page that switches between the List view (tabular model list) and the Graph view.

Switching to the Model Relationship Graph

1. In Boomi Data Hub, navigate to your repository.
2. Select Models from the left navigation.
3. At the top of the Models page, locate the segment control and select Graph. The Models page displays the graph view. Each model in your repository appears as a node.
4. To return to the tabular list of models, select List in the segment control.

Reading the graph

Each node represents a deployed model. Edges (connecting lines) between nodes represent reference fields — an arrow points from the main model to the referenced model.

Navigating the graph

• Pan — Click and drag a node or the canvas background to move around the graph.
• Zoom — Use your mouse scroll wheel, or pinch on a trackpad, to zoom in and out.
