Hallo Community, I have a question regarding creating timelines with dynamic selection. So my question is - is it possible to create such diagram in any of Neo4j tools or should I look for external tools? What I need to show is: 1. timeline for events generall for all countries 2. timeline with selected country As I understand Graph DB ... I should create a relationship between elements based on date but it will be extremely difficult to make changes. For one country it is ok - MATCH and then show the result. But for many countries I see problem with data shared between other countries and timeline. Is there any other way? Thanks. T. ---

Thank you for tips I think I know how to do it. So I am going to add properties like :TIME and :COUNTRY and then make it as dynamic relationship creation. Step 1: list all nodes - sort based on date and then based on the result of the loop make relationship. After add/delete of the element I have to delete relations and create them again. I definetely must see other courses in Neo4j Academy. Thanks for help. ---

[@tmssz](https://community.neo4j.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/16274), I think there are 2 questions here? 1st. There are 2 diagramming Neo4j tools: [arrows.app](https://arrows.app/) and the. Attached is a screen grab of your drawio.png in this [public arrows.app example](https://drive.google.com/file/d/14EUK1wHJchT4tLl0jtjS-Lz8q1FESXWF/view?usp=sharing) I quickly put together. ![Screen Shot 2023-01-05 at 8.23.13 AM.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex021/uploads/neo4jcommunity/original/3X/e/7/e7bd3991244ec528aa03419ae4d0193b2a8e28a0.png "Screen Shot 2023-01-05 at 8.23.13 AM.png") 2nd. I think the structure you're modeling here is a time tree, which isn't a recommended way of storing time related data anymore. You can add temporal properties to nodes, just add a date property then use operators in your queries matches in your target time ranges. This [other community thread](https://community.neo4j.com/t5/neo4j-graph-platform/relation-on-nodes-with-respect-of-time/m-p/54471) discusses this. For more details on time data see the docs [here](https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/5/syntax/temporal/#cypher-temporal-instants), and specifically for using comparison operators on them [here](https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/syntax/operators/#_equality). ---

You're welcome! Just realized the text and link to the other diagraming option, data-importer, didn't make it in my reply. So here's a link to it: [https://data-importer.graphapp.io/](https://data-importer.graphapp.io/) You can use that tool to import .csv data directly into a Neo4j instance, as well. The arrows.app however is easier to share.
