Cluster Definitions

You can see all of the concepts inside a cluster by selecting it in the Clusters pane and opening the Cluster Definitions dialog box (View > Cluster Definitions).

All of the concepts in the selected cluster appear in the Cluster Definitions dialog box. If you select one or more concepts in the Cluster Definitions dialog box and click Display &, the Data pane will display all of the records or documents in which all of the selected concepts appear together. However, the Data pane does not display any text records or documents when you select a cluster in the Clusters pane. For general information on the Data pane, see in.

Selecting concepts in this dialog box also changes the concept web graph. See the topic Cluster Graphs for more information. Similarly, when you select one or more concepts in the Cluster Definitions dialog box, the Visualization pane will show all of the external and internal links from those concepts.
