Zentrix Network Graph

A network and relationship graph for Microsoft Power BI that keeps the same layout on every refresh. Bind Source and Target, and every row becomes a link.

Who it's for

• Analysts mapping relationships: org structures with dotted-line reporting, company ownership, suppliers and customers, IT dependencies.
• Report authors who share a network with others and need the picture to stay where they left it.

The problem it solves

• Most force layouts re-solve on every refresh, so yesterday's arrangement is gone.
• Tree visuals allow one parent per node, so a second manager or a shared owner has nowhere to go.
• Large graphs freeze or quietly drop data.

What you get

• Layouts: deterministic force, concentric, circular, grid and tree / org-chart.
• Analysis: degree, betweenness, closeness and PageRank; Louvain communities with hulls; a plain-English insight read-out.
• Exploration: pin the layout, explore hop by hop, shortest path, drill-down and a node detail panel.
• Scale: no node limit of its own: it keeps loading data in 30,000-row batches, with a canvas renderer, a minimap and a "showing N of M" note if anything is left out.
• Styling: node images (base64), icons, patterns, shapes, palettes, gradients and colour rules.
• Time and place: time animation, geo layout and node annotations.
• Also: cross-filter, neighbourhood hover, search, legend, table view, keyboard navigation, high contrast.

Free and paid

• Free and fully unlocked in Power BI Desktop: every feature, no watermark, no time limit.
• In the Power BI Service, everyone who opens the report needs a licence. Readers without one see Power BI's licence prompt instead of the graph.
• Without a licence in the Service, an author keeps a free tier: the five non-geo layouts, shapes, palettes, one icon or pattern for all nodes, node images, labels, cross-filter, search, legend and table view, up to 500 nodes and 2,000 edges.
• One paid tier unlocks everything. The first month is free. Prices are on the Plans + Pricing tab.
• Marketplace licensing doesn't cover Power BI Report Server, Publish to web, PaaS (app-owns-data) embedding, national or regional clouds, or exporting to PDF or PowerPoint through the REST API.

Runs entirely inside Power BI. No network calls, no external data, no telemetry.
