# How to show search results in a diagram

## The 'Show in Diagram' button allows you to apply a diagram filter that shows a meaningful view of the resource or resources you have chosen along with their related infrastructure.

This feature is available from two places: [Inventory tables](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/group-summary-search?hsLang=en) and [Components](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/components?hsLang=en). Which are both described below:

### Using 'Show in Diagram' on an Inventory Table

From an Inventory table this feature lets you filter the diagram according to a set of entities that match your search criteria, simply perform a search and click the 'Show in Diagram' button:

This generates a filtered-down diagram view with the items from the list plus their surrounding contextual relationships, the items that were actually in the list are highlighted with a red border:

At the bottom of the screen you can exit from this view or adjust the view by clicking the **edit pencil** to revise your search criteria (simply click the 'Show in Diagram' button again once you have adjusted the search):

### Using 'Show in Diagram' on a Component

When viewing a component such as a Security Group the 'Show in Diagram' button shows in the diagram the resources that this component is associated with which are all listed under the Associated tab:

This generates a filtered-down diagram view with 'Associated' resources and their surrounding contextual relationships, the items that were actually in the list are highlighted with a red border:

At the bottom of the screen you can exit from this view or revisit the component by clicking the the **edit pencil:**
