Parts of a Ratings Tree

Nodes

Each company in a Ratings Tree is contained in a node. Nodes can be expanded or collapsed to show different levels of detail about the company they represent; select the arrow in the top right corner of a node to expand or collapse it.

When a node is collapsed, it displays the company’s headline rating, its rating category, and its ratings types, if any. When a node is expanded, it also displays:

  • A rating gauge
  • The number of companies monitoring this company
  • The number of IP addresses attributed to this company
  • A toggle to add the company to benchmarking
  • A More Details option. Select this option to reveal:
    • A brief description of the company
    • The company’s industry
    • The subscription type used to monitor the company
Node Legend
Icon Description
Red dot Basic Rating The company is in the basic rating category.
Yellow dot Intermediate Rating The company is in the intermediate rating category.
Blue dot Advanced Rating The company is in the advanced rating category.
Closed eye icon Privately Published Company The rating is private, available internally only to the publishing organization.
Lock icon Not Subscribed You are not subscribed to the company.
A blue circle with a white star Primary Rating Highlighted as the primary.

Branches

Nodes on a Ratings Tree are organized into branches. From left to right, each branch represents the next level down in the company’s hierarchy of subsidiaries. If multiple subsidiaries in one branch have their own subsidiaries, the next level of the Ratings Tree will contain two branches.

If a node has a branch, the Ratings Tree displays a black box next to it. The box indicates how many subsidiaries are contained in the branch. Selecting the box expands or collapses the branch.

Collapsing a branch also collapses any branches beneath it in the Ratings Tree.

Navigating a Ratings Tree

  • Scroll left, right, up, or down to move to different parts of a Ratings Tree.
  • Zoom in or out using the zoom slider.
  • Select the Target button to return to the company highlighted in the context switcher.

To search the tree for a specific company, enter its primary name, domain, or IP address into the search box at the top. Only the relevant company and its parents are shown; your search text is highlighted in yellow. The results include both subscribed and unsubscribed companies.
