# Pivoting on Data

## Overview

Pivoting is an analytic transition in which you move from one entity—Indicators and Groups in the [ThreatConnect® Data Model](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-threatconnect-data-model), as well as [Tags](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-tags) and [Attributes](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/creating-attributes)—to an associated entity as defined by the [Diamond Model](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-diamond-model). Through pivoting, you can explore relationships and find correlations between entities in a contiguous manner.
