Claims

1. A method performed by a client system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the client system to perform the method, the method comprising:

receiving, at the client system, document usage information relating to usage of a document;

generating a visual usage graph based on the document usage information illustrating the usage of the document; and

displaying, on an interface of the client system, the visual usage graph.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual usage graph comprises a node-link graph.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the visual usage graph comprises a directed node-link graph.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the visual usage graph comprises an interactive node-link graph.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a selection of a node of the visual usage graph; and

displaying information associated with the selected node comprising at least one of an action performed on the document by a user associated with the selected node, usage rules applied to the document by a user associated with the selected node, and attributes relating to a user associated the selected node.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving a selection of a link of the visual usage graph;

displaying information associated with the selected link comprising at least one of a date associated with a forwarding action on the document and a mechanism associated with a forwarding action on the document.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual usage graph is configured to provide information illustrating how a document has been distributed by one or more users.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the visual usage graph is configured to provide information illustrating how a document has been used by one or more users.
