🚀 "How many screens do I need to open just to understand one customer?" Object Views answer that pain by bundling everything about a single object into one screen.

📝 Overview
Object Views act as the central hub for everything related to a specific object. They consolidate properties, linked objects, metrics and analytics, dashboards, and operational applications into a single unified interface. For example, an Airport object view can integrate flight timelines, delay-handling workflows, and location data in one place. In practice, an Object View becomes the daily "home screen" that frontline users open to start their work.
🔧 How It Works
Object Views are highly configurable by builders:
- They support multiple formats and sizes, so appearance and interaction patterns can be tailored to the task.
- They combine properties (attributes), linked objects, metrics, analytics, and dashboards into one display.
- They can be embedded throughout the platform wherever the object appears.
- Configuration happens in the Ontology Manager under the "Object views" tab, and version tabs at the top let you switch between format variations.
- Selecting "Edit views" opens the configuration editor or the underlying Workshop module.
- The system also supports version management, panel variations, commenting, and Marketplace product integration.
🛠 Practical Usage
- In Ontology Manager, select the target object type and use the "Object views" tab to preview and configure.
- Lay out core information, related objects, operation history, and embedded dashboards so everything the team needs is on one screen.
- Beyond viewing, embed action types so users can trigger status changes or assignments directly from the view.
- Create multiple formats to show different layouts per role (for example, sales view vs. maintenance view).
🎯 Use Cases
- Customer 360: one launchpad combining transaction history, inquiries, related orders, and account owners for sales.
- Equipment record: a maintenance home screen with sensor values, service history, related parts, and open tickets.
- Case management: a single view of stakeholders, due dates, approval status, and next actions on a case object.
⚠️ Caveats
- Views depend on the quality of the underlying ontology modeling (object types and link types); a weak foundation limits view quality.
- Overloading a view confuses users, so design role-specific layouts that show only what each role needs.
- Editing requires appropriate permissions to the Ontology Manager and the underlying Workshop module.
