# Generating Entity Graphs in the Analysis View Module

In the Analysis View module, you can create graphs and configure them according to your specifications. You can also create a graph using the graph wizard. The graph wizard takes you through the steps involved in creating a graph and defining its settings.

You create graphs in either a public folder or a private folder. Graphs in a public folder are accessible to all users. Graphs in a private folder are accessible only to the user who created them.
