Object Types

E.g. assets, reports, or events (such as security event)

Field examples:

  • Location
  • Title/Description
  • Date and time
  • Severity (List type)

There is no auto-save, must be saved manually

Process

  1. Create object type
  2. Add fields
  3. Define object metadata (title formula, object name, default behavior when object is selected—like opening a dashboard)
  4. Select a supertype if needed (like Event)
    1. Requires implementing and mapping fields to the supertype spec

Dashboards

Use widgets like:

  • List
  • Table
  • Timeline
  • Map
  • Chart

Can be interacted with via:

  • Event guides
  • Buttons
  • Chat
  • View and edit using dashboard

There is no auto-save, must be saved manually

Process:

  1. Start with properties, define tabs (e.g. “Overview”), dashboard type (Standard or Launchpad), and most importantly context—the relevant object context if it is for a single object instance
  2. Add widgets (such as…)
    1. Details for displaying multiple fields
    2. Field highlight to focus on a particular field
  3. Add interactivity (such as…)
    1. A button that creates an incident report object related to the event

Referencing another object

Use the Object field and enable On creation, auto-populate with creator's context to allow viewing in a non-related dashboard.

You may choose to log to the objects timeline to post information to the master object.

Timelines
A widget for a dashboard. Can display posts from the current object, any object, or a specific object(s).

Filters

Process:

  1. Create a filter
  2. Define a name and type for which we will be conditionally evaluating
  3. Define your conditions, noting the possibility of creating user-defined variables which can be provided in the filter inputs when the filter is in use

Showing all object instances on a dashboard

Process:

  1. Create a filter where <thisObject> == <thisObject>
  2. Create a dashboard with NO context

Forms

Process:

  1. Select relevant object type
  2. Define a form name/description
  3. Add fields and define label/placeholder
  4. Map each field to a field in the corresponding object type
  5. Return to the corresponding object type, and set the new form as the default form.
