About Supply Chain Network Charts

When you create a supply chain network chart, the app renders a chart that includes products and locations, as well as attribute
and any selected key gure information.

The Supply Chain Network Chart

Each element of the chart represents a part of the supply chain, either a supplier, manufacturer, warehouse, or customer, as
well as the paths (or arcs) along which items (materials or nished goods) traverse. Selecting a graphical element displays
names and values of the attributes associated with the element, if you have permission to view that information. Nodes can be
dragged into different locations for easier viewing. A plus sign (+) next to a product node allows you to extend the rendered
chart from that node without editing lter selections.

The app automatically generates a heat map and legend for any selected key gures. You can modify the color of the heatmap
and the value thresholds. You can toggle between horizontal and vertical layouts, and between a chart view and a table view.
The gure below illustrates a supply chain visualization:

 Note
Chart elements do not support drill-down functionality. A popup displays information speci c to the node or arc selected.
Visibility lters affect which key gures are displayed in popups and heatmaps. If you don't have permissions to view certain
key gures that data is not displayed, but the full network of nodes will be rendered.

Chart Icons

The following table describes the elements of the network visualization chart. the icons used in the chart are displayed in a
legend to the right of the chart, while icons not used in a chart are not displayed:
