Showing/Hiding Object Relationships

You can expand and hide an object's relationships, both committed and uncommitted, on the Evidence from the Action Panel.  This allows you to create a better visual representation of your investigation as well as hide related objects that add little value to the investigation.

Uncommitted related object nodes will only appear on the Evidence Board if you have enabled Exploratory Data Points.  

The evidence board and object details menu display a maximum of 2,000 relationships per object and an overall maximum of 25,000 relationships.  If the objects in your investigation exceed these maximums, you can view the full list of relationships in the correspond object details pages.
