You learned a lot about widget configuration and layout in this tutorial, but its most challenging aspect was structuring and keeping track of variables. Fortunately, you learned to use the Dependency Graph in the Variables panel to visually represent the flow of variables and widgets. Being smart about Ontology structure and variable usage can make all the difference in the maintainability of your applications.

In this tutorial you:

  1. Created a multi-page, multi-layered application.
  2. Efficiently used multiple filter lists to shape the object sets foundational to your COP.
  3. Configured a pie chart widget that also serves as a filter for downstream object sets.
  4. Built an interactive two-layer map as the centerpiece of your COP.
  5. Set up more complex metric cards that respond to multiple filter conditions.
  6. Embedded an object view in a button-activated overlay.

Below is a list of product documentation used in the course of this training:

Good common operating pictures and inboxes balance situational awareness with the ability to take action. Up until now, you’ve been working through these tutorials with a “read-only” version of your object types. What if your users want to take action on what they encounter in your COP or inbox? The next two tutorials will introduce the concept of Ontology edits through an enabling framework simply called Actions.
