Beelines are ad hoc data analyses that fork from a point in the result of an exploration. The system propagates the context of the forking point to the new analysis, where you can continue further analysis. When you create a beeline (from the original or a beeline tile), you can see it following the original exploration, and the page scrolls automatically.

You can create the following beelines from a path analysis:

## [​](http://localhost:3000/documentation/docs/Explore%20Data/creating_beelines_paths#paths-to-funnel)Show funnel from selected nodes[​](http://localhost:3000/documentation/docs/Explore%20Data/creating_beelines_paths#show-funnel-from-selected-nodes-in-the-path)

This beeline creates a funnel using the nodes you select from your path analysis.

1. Open a path analysis of your choice.
2. Select the nodes for which you want to create a funnel, right-click any node, and choose **Show funnel from selected nodes**.

3. Use the **Open in Explorer** option to further slice and dice this exploration, if required.

## Explore users at selected nodes[​](http://localhost:3000/documentation/docs/Explore%20Data/creating_beelines_paths#explore-users-at-selected-nodes)

You can also go from a path analysis to a visual exploration.

1. Open a path analysis of your choice.
2. Right-click any node and choose **Explore users at selected nodes**.

3. Right-click and choose one of the following options to slice further and dice this exploration, if required: **Drill-down**, **Segment by cohort**, **Segment by attribute**, and **Show over time**.

## Other options[​](http://localhost:3000/documentation/docs/Explore%20Data/creating_beelines_paths#other-options)

When you right-click a node in a path analysis, options such as **Focus node**, **Hide node**, and **Clear selection** are displayed.

- **Focus node** – Focus on one or a few selected nodes.
- **Hide node** – Hide the selected node.
- **Clear selection** – Clear any selection you made.
