WORKING WITH NODE GROUPS
Overview
In a Kradle Data Model, a Node stores information and Links represent relationships between connected Nodes. Nodes in Kradle are defined by their Type.
Your Permission settings may result in some menu icons not being visible.
Creating A Node Group
A Node Group must be created before a Node Type can be added to the group. You can create as many Node Groups as needed.
- Select Database | Node Builder from the menu to open the Node Builder blade.
- Select the Add New Group icon
and enter the following:
- Name for the Node Group
- Color for the Node Group using either the colored swatches or custom color picker

-
Select one or more Users – Users will have access to the Node Group
- Click the Save icon.
- The new Node Group will be displayed within the Node/Groups pane.
To create Nodes in the Data Model, a User must have access to Node Groups. To get access to a Node Group (and Node Type), your name (or the names of other Users) must have been selected as a User or alternatively, you (or the names of other Users) must belong to a selected Function Group.
Editing A Node Group

Delete A Node Group
- Select Database | Node Builder from the menu to open the Node Builder blade.
- Single click the Node Group name of the Group you intend to delete.
- Click the Delete icon
to delete the Node Group.
If there are Node(s) belonging to the Node Group, the Delete function is disabled. The Node count indicates how many Nodes belong to the Group.
The Node count must be zero (0) before a Node Group can be deleted.
