About this course

Quiver is a Foundry application designed for no-code analysis of objects and time series data. This course will focus on ways application developers and their team members can use Quiver to build dynamic visualizations with Ontology object data. These artifacts can then be configured to interact with other Ontology-aware applications, including Object Views and Workshop modules.

In the Configuring Object Views course, you configured native widgets for your Object View. One of those — the Chart widget — provides an in-app suggestion: “We highly recommend using Quiver or Workshop charts instead.” Quiver is more flexible, sophisticated, and interoperable with the Ontology than native charting capabilities in Object Views (or even those in Workshop).

⚠️ Course prerequisites
  • If you have not completed the previous course in this track - APPDEV 03: Configuring Object Views, please do so now.
  • Necessary permissions to edit object views. Please reach out to your program administrator or Palantir point of contact if you need authorization.
  • “New Quiver”: Chances are you’ve got “new Quiver” available to you in Foundry, but if you run into trouble in the clearly marked steps, please reach out to your program administrator or Palantir point of contact.
Outcomes

This course is designed with application developers in mind. Although Quiver is primarily an analytical tool, you won’t be doing any number crunching or advanced analysis today. The aim is not to make you expert analysts; it’s to teach you basic Quiver chart development and interpolation patterns.

This course can can make use of your “read-only” (i.e., non-editable) passenger and flight alert object types and it will expose you to some patterns of interoperability between Ontology-aware applications.

The general outcome in this training is a set of charts that provide additional context to individual flight alerts. You want to enable users to open an Object View (or Workshop application) and see the same set of charts populated with data unique to the object in view.

Learning Objectives
  1. Develop intuition about how to traverse Ontology links to build visualizations with object data.
  2. Provide experience working with various Quiver cards and logic.
  3. Step through the process of embedding your Quiver charts into an Object View.
Foundry Skills
  • Create charts, cards, parameters, and logic on top of your ontology object types.
  • Use Quiver dashboards to create reusable visuals of your analysis.
  • Embed your Quiver dashboards into Object Views.
