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
- Create object type
- Add fields
- Define object metadata (title formula, object name, default behavior when object is selected—like opening a dashboard)
- Select a supertype if needed (like
Event)- 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:
- Start with properties, define tabs (e.g. “Overview”), dashboard type (
StandardorLaunchpad), and most importantly context—the relevant object context if it is for a single object instance - Add widgets (such as…)
- Details for displaying multiple fields
- Field highlight to focus on a particular field
- Add interactivity (such as…)
- 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:
- Create a filter
- Define a name and type for which we will be conditionally evaluating
- 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:
- Create a filter where
<thisObject> == <thisObject> - Create a dashboard with NO context
Forms
Process:
- Select relevant object type
- Define a form name/description
- Add fields and define label/placeholder
- Map each field to a field in the corresponding object type
- Return to the corresponding object type, and set the new form as the default form.
