Define queries using a visual representation of the nodes and relationships

The visual query builder provides an intuitive way to create complex queries by using a visual representation of the nodes and relationships, without needing to use the query language. You can filter using combinations of attributes, focus the results on any of the nodes, and specify columns from any of the related nodes to show in the results.

The following screenshots show a simple example query and the results of running that query.
