Is it possible to dynamically set the initial object view tab ID for an object view widget?

Currently, it is not possible to set the initial object view tab ID dynamically. The suggested workaround is to create multiple overlays, one for each tab you want to display initially.

How can I improve the contrast between the node background and the text in the hierarchy widget when using dark mode?

Use a variable to track the current theme and conditionally display different copies of the widget with different styling for light and dark modes. Additionally, consider customizing the node and text colors to improve visibility in both modes.

What should I do if I get an unknown Marketplace packaging error after adding installation parameters to a mobile workshop?

To resolve the unknown Marketplace packaging error, you should: disable the marketplace configuration, check which components are problematic and fix them, clear changes without saving, and then implement the component/variable fixes with the marketplace configuration enabled and untouched.

How can we create a permanent URL for a Workshop module that remains valid even if the underlying module changes?

You can use a top-level Workshop module that remains the same, then embed the actual Workshop module inside it. You can also possibly use promoted variables for routing, such as using page=page1 instead of /page1.

How can I export a formatted table Markdown widget to the clipboard for easier export in an email template?

How can I access a Workshop module from the object view page if it is not visible after saving? Can it be recovered if it wasn't published?

To access a Workshop module that is not visible in the object view page after saving, you should ensure that you selected Publish. Doing so will ensure that the object view uses the latest saved version of the module. If the Publish button is not selectable, or the Workshop module seems to be disconnected, you can manually paste the module ID into the code editor in the object view editor. To recover the module ID, navigate to the object type in Ontology Manager to view all Workshop modules in which the object type is used. The module ID should include Object View Tab in the title unless it was renamed.

How can I link to a specific object in Workshop using an external ID variable?

Use the primary key of the object as a promoted string variable, and have an object set variable that is filtered by the primary key.

Does embedding Workshop modules affect the initial load time? Is it faster to build everything in one module versus splitting into multiple modules and embedding them?

Embedded Workshop modules generally improve the initial load time because they are loaded lazily after the initial render. However, if there are multiple levels of embedding that are all visible on the initial page, the initial load may be slower due to a "waterfall" effect. However, if the larger module is broken up so originally non-visible parts are split into embedded modules, there may be a slightly faster initial load.

Can a hidden property on an object type be used in a Workshop module? If not, is there a workaround?

Hidden properties are not accessible in applications like Workshop. As a workaround, you should change the visibility of the property to Normal, then configure the Workshop module to hide the property in the user interface where necessary.

Why can't the option to save state be found in the Workshop interface after enabling state saving with filter variables? Is there a way to access state saving without having the module header visible?

The module header must be visible for the dropdown menu related to state saving to appear in the interface. If the module header is hidden, the state saving option will not be accessible.

How can I reset a filter variable when changing a section tab?

To reset a filter variable when changing a section tab, use the Hide default tabs option and replace the default tabs with a tabs widget that allows configuring events.

Timestamp: March 18, 2024

In Workshop, how can I filter an object set to get the latest object based on a timestamp property?

You can create a maximum timestamp aggregation variable and use that to filter the object set. This will result in an object set containing the object with the latest timestamp.

Timestamp: March 6, 2024

In Workshop, can users manually rearrange the order of objects displayed in the list?

No, manual rearrangement of objects is not supported in Workshop. The order can be controlled only by sorting using a property.

What object export limits exist in Workshop, and are there ways to work around these limits for larger exports?

When exporting object data from Workshop, there is a 200,000 object limit for exports involving regular property types and 10,000 object limit for exports involving function-backed derived columns.

To export beyond the above limits, you can first materialize the view you're attempting to export as a dataset and then download that dataset. There are several options for doing this, such as passing the object set to Quiver and then saving the object set to a dataset with Quiver.

Is there a workflow for passing object lists or sets between Workshop modules, or from Object Explorer to Workshop, that is more efficient than exporting to Excel and manually copying and pasting primary keys?

The solution is to use the Workshop module interface, which allows you to configure object sets to pass between Workshop modules when using Open in Workshop events. Additionally, Carbon's discoverable modules can be used to configure an Open in action in Object Explorer.

How can I use conditional formatting in metric card widgets to format timestamps based on how stale they are compared to the current time?

You can use conditional formatting for the metric card widget to reference other variables in the Workshop application. You can create a numeric variable that represents the stale value using the Between times transform. This variable can then be used to control the conditional formatting of the metrics card.

How can I increase the number of allowed groupings in the pivot table widget beyond the maximum limit of 7?

You cannot directly increase the maximum number of allowed groupings in the Pivot Table widget due to a set limit intended to prevent overloading the frontend. However, a workaround is to add "hidden groupings" to your table. This method allows users to swap between these hidden groupings on the UI, effectively managing more groupings than the limit without directly increasing the allowed number. This approach maintains performance while offering flexibility in data presentation.

How can the limit of object set size for sorting with calculated columns be increased beyond 200?

A workaround is to express the logic from the derived column as a function backed column, which allows sorting up to 1000 rows.

Is it possible to display the icons displayed in the Map widget in a Workshop application based on a boolean property?

It is currently not possible to display the icons based on a boolean value but a workaround solution is to use a function-backed property. You could also consider splitting the data layers based on the boolean field and then have a static icon for both the layers.

How can I display a static string like No Date Specified in a table in Workshop when the date property is null?

Why are function-backed variables not recalculating automatically?

The behavior is expected if you are running the function with the same values as it fetches the cached results. You can work around this by passing the current timestamp or a nonce value that will force the variable to be recomputed.
