How can I get an grahical overview of a selection of related entities?
Is there a tool available providing some functionality to arrange entities and relationsships?

    Hello @Heijo Hewel ,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    If my understanding is correct you would like to know if there is a tool or a way to have a graphical overview of related entities by arranging entities and relationships.

    As per my conversation with product team, it is confirmed that there is a backlog item to have an out of box feature to create a graph/relationship view experience in Azure Purview. Unfortunately, we do we do not have an ETA when this will be implemented. Hence, we recommend you subscribing to Azure updates page for latest updates related to Azure products.

    In the meantime, below is a suggestion shared by our internal teams:
    -To use Will’s pyapacheatlas project to manually create and upload relationships between entities using excel. That should create a graph view in the related tab for individual entities, but that graph view is a basic one.

    Here is an existing feedback thread shared by another user in Azure IDEAS forum - Azure Purview - Relationships/Diagram view
    We encourage you to please up-vote and comment on this feedback to increase the priority of the feature request.

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
