Combining objects in single object view

Ask the Community
1

I have generated an object in ontology manager where the user is required to complete the form three times. This is currently stored as 3 separate objects (rows) in the ontology object. When viewing an object, I want to edit it in Workshop so that the user can see the answers of the three sets in a single view.

For example: the current object view is label, value and I want to edit this to be label, value1, value2, value3. The rows to be joined can be joined on 3 properties and then having a current timestamp within 15 minutes of each other.

Thank you!

Hey @amhall if you just want to edit those three values in one place you could use the inline editor a part of the Object Table widget:

You just need to make an edit action modifying the fields you want your user to be able to edit in the inline table

Thank you for such a quick reply! What about if I am looking to automate that process for future object creation?

Two things come to mind:

  • If the objects are coming in as new rows from a data transform, could you also populate the value fields directly in the transform?

  • If the objects are being created via actions/workshop (at the ontology layer) you could populate the values on creation, or if it needs to happen after creation after something else, you could use the Automate application: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/automate/overview

Automate allows you to define conditions and effects (in your case the effect would be populating the value field). Conditions are checked continuously, and effects are executed automatically when the specified conditions were met.
