7 - Configuring your Object table widget

This content is also available at learn.palantir.com ↗ and is presented here for accessibility purposes.

📖 Task Introduction

Each Workshop widget has distinct configuration options, but they follow a similar pattern: They require object set variables as inputs; allow display and formatting; define interaction patterns; and often produce outputs that can be used elsewhere in your application.

Let’s continue specifying the settings for your object table widget.

🔨 Task Instructions

  1. In your widget configuration panel, identify the COLUMN CONFIGURATION section.

  2. Under the Title item, which Workshop has automatically added, click ➕ Add column to select additional properties from your object set to add to the table.

  3. Add 4-6 columns. Consider adding:

    • Priority
    • Status
    • Assignee
    • Comment
    • Risk Premium
  4. You can change the name of the column headings without affecting the underlying data. Click on the word “Title” in the Title item and change it to “Alert.”

  5. Our end user will likely want to see the most urgent alerts at the top of the table. Click Select a property to sort by ▾ below the COLUMN CONFIGURATION section and choose Risk Score.

  6. On the right of the Risk Premium sort item that has been added to the list, click the “↓⁹⁄₁” button for a descending sort.
