Line diagrams are a form of network diagram that focuses on the relationship that flows along a sequence of assets in a diagram. create a diagram around a single asset and relationship, then allow you to overlay data over that diagram.

There is currently no user-friendly UI to create line diagrams. This is due to complexity - although it's easy to create these diagrams, only a small number are worth the effort.

To make a diagram, you'll need three numbers.

The Around number is the ID of the asset you want to include in your diagram. This should be part of the line you want to view - ie. an early part of a process line or conveyor system.

The Relationship is the relationship you'd like the system to follow to upstream and down-stream assets. This is often the ID of your 'product' or 'line' relationship.

FInally, there's the optional base parameter. This is used to add an extra asset to the screen - usually one that represents the site or system as a whole.

These are all compiled into a single link…
