Overview

Cross-application interactivity is the ability to share data across distinct applications on the Palantir platform. Data in the platform can be shared through specific interaction points, such as through drag-and-drop actions, or by pairing applications so they share state in real time. Applications that implement cross-application interactivity create an ecosystem in which users can seamlessly build workflows that span multiple applications across and between Gotham and Foundry. This ecosystem enables users to connect applications in novel ways, since each interaction point in an application creates a potential connection to every other application with an interaction point.

As an example, drag-and-drop functionality can enable users to drag data from Gaia into a Workshop application, while ensuring data compatibility through data enrichment. Additionally, users can configure Workshop's App Pairing widget to connect supported Palantir platform applications - such as Gotham's Gaia and Graph - to their Workshop modules.

Cross-application interactivity also acts as a plug-in point for third-party developers to extend existing functionality by sharing context between applications. As workflows change and business logic evolves, cross-application interactivity unlocks new and diverse ways to generate value with the Palantir platform.

Support

Currently, all Gotham applications and many Foundry applications implement some form of cross-application interactivity. Applications built in Workshop and Slate, or with the assistance of OSDK can also implement cross-application interactivity.
