While watching the Palantir YouTube video on the Onyx organization (timestamp 12:56: link), I noticed an animated icon show up in the UI (screenshot attached).
From what I understand, this has something to do with automation monitoring, but I haven’t found documentation on how to configure or trigger that animated icon inside the Workshop application.
Is this tied to a specific automation setting (like AI Agents, workflow triggers, or monitoring jobs)?
Can we enable this in Workshop ourselves, or is it a custom visual used for the demo?
Would love to hear from anyone who has set this up or has insight into whether it’s configurable in Foundry/Workshop.
I am not sure how it is done in in the specific workshop app you are referencing, but it is generally possible to add gif’s and thus animations to workshop.
One example would be to use the media preview widget and then set a static media string.
The format in the string is as follows: data:image/gif;base64,{base64encodingofthegif}
You can get the base64 encoding with the following command in your terminal: base64 -i {inputfile}
Thanks for the response! That helps me understand how to embed a gif in Workshop using the media preview widget.
My next question is: how do we know when an automation/logic/agent is actively running so that it can be reflected in Workshop (e.g., triggering that animation automatically)?
Is there a way to bind the state of an AI Agent / automation pipeline / logic function to a UI element so that the animation shows up only while the process is running?
Or is this handled by configuring status outputs/events from the automation job and then feeding those into Workshop for visualization?
I’m basically trying to understand how to go beyond a static gif and make the animation reflect a real running state of an automation/agent in Foundry.
Would really appreciate if anyone has done this kind of setup!
