Overview 🔍

BDIViz provides a streamlined interface for managing match candidates directly within the heatmap view. The Shortcut Panel, located at the top-left of the screen, offers essential interactive tools for evaluating and adjusting alignment results.

These operations allow users to mark candidates as accepted, rejected, or discarded, while also providing undo/redo functionality for iterative refinement.

  • Work Iteratively: Use Undo and Redo freely to experiment and refine decisions without permanent impact.
  • Stay Organized: The Timeline Panel logs every action in sequence, helping you track progress or revisit past decisions.
  • Interpret Colors Quickly:
    • Green: Accepted match
    • Red: Rejected match
    • 🚫 Gray: Discarded source attribute

After reviewing and operating on match candidates:

  • Review the Timeline Panel to validate key decisions.
  • Use filters and the heatmap overview to identify remaining unmatched attributes.
  • Proceed to export your confirmed mappings or refine further with the help of the LLM Agent Panel.
