People
Network
The “Network” tab shows who is connected to whom: through direct relationships, shared organizations, encounters, and topics. From here, you open the network graph, the topic network, and “Maintain relationships”.
People list and network detail #
The “Network” tab lists your contacts by last name. Below each name are three counters: relationships, organizations, and encounters. Use “Search person…” to find someone specific; pulling down refreshes the counters.
Tap a person to see their network detail. The header sums up the number of relationships, organization contacts, and encounter contacts. Below that follow up to four cards. Tapping a person opens their contact profile.
- “Knows directly”: recorded relationships with their type, such as “Knows” or “Works with”.
- “Together in organization”: people from the same organizations, with organization and role.
- “Together in encounter”: people who took part in the same encounters.
- “Topically connected”: people with shared topics from analyzed content.
Network graph #
The network graph draws all people with relationships as nodes. The more connections a person has, the larger their node. The line color stands for the relationship type, the line thickness for the strength. Colored halos mark groups that are connected to each other. The legend at the bottom distinguishes “Contact”, “Many connections”, and “Favorite”; the overview map at the top right shows which section you are currently viewing.
- Tapping a node highlights it; a second tap opens the contact profile.
- Double-tapping zooms in on the node; a tap on an empty area zooms back out.
- Dragging a node moves it, and Linknor remembers the position. Use two fingers to zoom.
- “Reset view” (arrow icon at the top) restores zoom, section, and layout.
- The filter at the top right limits the graph to one life area, such as “Profession” or “Association”.
Contact timeline #
The contact timeline shows, in order, when contacts and relationships were created. You open it in the network graph with the button showing your profile picture at the top right. The entries are grouped by month and show the date on the right. Tapping an entry opens the contact profile.
- “Contact created”: a new contact was added.
- “Personal relationship (type)”: your own relationship to a person.
- “Relationship (type)”: a relationship between two contacts, for example “Relationship (knows)”.
Topic network #
The topic network shows the most frequent topics from your AI-analyzed content as bubbles. The larger a bubble, the more items deal with the topic. Lines connect topics that occur together. The colors assign the topics to the areas “Technology”, “Business”, “Media”, and “Other”.
Tap a bubble to see details at the bottom: the number of “Content” items and “People”, the “Cluster”, and under “Connected” the neighboring topics. The × closes the details. Use two fingers to zoom; you can move bubbles around.
Maintain relationships #
“Maintain relationships” helps you add missing connections between your contacts. You open it with the left of the three buttons on the “Network” tab or via the tile on the “Home” tab.
In each round, a card asks “Do these people know each other?” and gives a reason, such as “Shared organization”, “Shared encounter”, or “Similar topics”. Swipe right or tap ✓ to confirm. Swipe left or tap ✗ to postpone the suggestion. The blue “…” button opens the detailed entry, and the arrow next to it undoes the last postponement.
- “Discover new relationships”: “Strengthen my network” starts from you, “Relationships of a contact” from a starting contact you choose in a list.
- “Short sessions”: “Review 10 relationships” and “Short session for one contact” limit the round to ten suggestions.
- “Periodic maintenance”: “Review my network” and “Review a contact’s relationships” ask about relationships that have not been confirmed for a long time.
Create a relationship #
If you confirm a suggestion with ✓ or tap “…”, “Create relationship” opens. You can also reach the same form from a contact profile. Under “Person”, “Connected to” shows the other person; tap it to choose someone else. “Save” creates the relationship.
For mutual relationships, Linknor automatically creates the reverse direction as well. If the other side already has a relationship of a different type, Linknor asks whether you want to overwrite it, keep it, or merge them.
- “Type”: Knows, Works with, Related, Politically connected, Professionally connected, Friend, Family, Introduced by, Reports to, Same organization, or Other.
- “Direction”: “Mutual” or “One-sided”.
- “Strength”: from 1/5 to 5/5.
- “Note”: type freely or dictate via the microphone.
Postponed and periodic review #
Whatever you postpone in a round no longer comes up automatically. The clock button at the top right opens the “Postponed” list with the date it was postponed. Via an entry’s “…” menu, you choose “Log relationship” to enter the details directly, or “Suggest again” to add the person back to the suggestions.
In periodic maintenance, the question is “Does this connection still exist?”. The card states for how many days the relationship has not been confirmed. ✓ confirms it again, ✗ marks it as ended. If there is nothing to review, you see “No suggestions”.
