About the Show & Tell category
Welcome to the Show & Tell category. We’ve created this area for members of the community to share projects, guides, tutorials etc. that solve a business or technical problem using Foundry & AIP, and discuss what they’ve built with other members of the community. We’ll hold a high bar for posting here. For example, if you are simply trying to advertise your product without concrete examples in Foundry/AIP, our moderation team will likely remove your post. Posts which feature product demo videos and/or detailed walk throughs with screenshots are what we’re hoping folks will lead with. We can’t wait to see what you’re building! 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Spatiotemporal resilience for Ontology: secure digital trail of regulated critical operations
Palantir’s Ontology maps real-world operations to digital objects, providing the foundation for AIP automations. However, when ingesting field data – such as a technician executing a maintenance Action or a logistics provider logging a drop-off – relying on standard GPS or static QR codes compromises data provenance. These standard inputs can be easily spoofed or manipulated, causing downstream workflows to operate on false premises. Verifying actual physical presence at a specific time remains a persistent vulnerability. The IAT4D platform solves this by anchoring physical sites with passive NFC identity chips (iMarks). When a field operator taps the iMark with a mobile device, the chip signs an external one-time challenge. OSDK-built application sends the signed checkpoints to the Foundry, where signatures are verified and ontology is updated. In this tutorial I provide samples, TypeScript v2 code, and video demonstrating one full integration that builds an identity grid, verif
Feature: State Saving for Workshop Pivot Tables
Ask: Expose row groupings & aggregations as workshop variables, so that state can be saved. Sample scenario: FDE builds a rich pivot table, with multiple complex aggregation Some row groupings are set to expandable/hidden to allow for both high-level summary & low level drilldown Some aggregations are also set to hidden User agrees to the defaults shown & hidden PAIN : Power users want to create saved views with a custom setting for row groupings & aggregations. They have multiple views, and also want to share them with other users. This is not possible, instead they need to start from the defaults and adjust them each time. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

Global Branching Limitation with TypeScript v2 Functions
We’re trying to use Global Branching to make an end-to-end change across Ontology, Functions, and Workshop , but we’re hitting a limitation with TypeScript v2 functions . Scenario We add a new property in the Ontology within a branch We can successfully use it in pipelines and Workshop in that branch Issue Our functions are built using TypeScript v2 , and: We can’t edit or version function code within the branch The function compiler only sees the main schema So we can’t reference the new property added in the branch Impact This breaks the end-to-end workflow: Ontology, pipelines, and Workshop are branch-aware TypeScript v2 functions behave as versioned artifacts Questions What’s the recommended approach to handle this? Are there best practices for coordinating ontology changes with v2 functions? Are there plans to make TypeScript v2 repos compatible with Global Branching

Ontology Replacement Pipeline Mechanics
I am trying to iron out my understanding of how replacement pipelines for ontology objects work. Recently, I made changes to the schema (deleted properties) and backing dataset of of a streaming object. Once I saved my changes, I saw that a replacement pipeline kicked off and my live pipeline was running as usual. The schema status of the object was changed to updating as well. My understanding is that the live pipeline should still be able to serve all active workflows as usual until the replacement pipeline completes. However, we saw a number of OSDK based apps failing since they couldn’t load the objects (the root cause error was that it was unable to find the deleted properties). This doesn’t make sense to me and I’m wondering what the best practice is here when pushing schema changes to objects. In this particular case, it was a streaming backed object and the replacement pipeline takes around 10-12 hours to run fully so its not really easy to find a downtime window where we can
Feature Request: Conditional Redaction / Masking in Workshop Apps
Hello, We have a feature request for the T-Foundry platform. Currently, Workshop Apps in Pivot Table Widgtet already support conditional formatting (e.g., if a value is lower than 6, the cell background turns red and the text color changes to white). We would now need a form of conditional masking/redaction functionality. For example, if a value is lower than 6, it should either: be replaced with an asterisk (*), or appear as a blacked-out / crossed-out field. This requirement is particularly important for a more sensitive project we are currently working on, but it would also be highly valuable for many existing and future compliance-related use cases. If there is already a way to achieve this with existing functionality or a workaround, we would also appreciate guidance or support on how to implement it, instead of requiring a new feature to be developed. Thank you for your support. 1 post - 1 participant Read full
Block Foundry Platform access for full org
In Application Access (Control Panel), for specific app (for example Resource Management in screenshot) you can choose Nobody, however, for Foundry Platform, you can’t. If you implement a Consumer Mode , this might make sense to have a Nobody option rather than having to create a dummy group including no one from the consumer organization if all builder are part of another org. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
String Selector/Variable caching leading to function not re-computing
Hello Community, I have a string selector with static options to choose a single value, and this selection variable is used in multiple other objects set variables for filtering, it is an input variable to a bunch of functions and also a URL parameter for a slate spreadsheet, but at times when I choose a region and open the overlay which has function backed derived columns or the slate spreadsheet, it loads data of the previous region, How could I fix this? I have thought of two solution approaches, Using a variable transformation string variable which takes the string selector value and checks if it is valid else fallback to default value Making the functions accept a dynamic parameter such as an incremental variable or timestamp, which will help to trigger the function and not return cached results Would like to know, if anyone else has faced the same issue and is it a common problem with string selector component and is there any other way I could fix this issu
FR: Filter option in Variable Transformation
Can we have an option to filter object as well in “Variable Transformation” section. This will reduce the effort to create a separate filtered object and then create kpi variable using variable transformation. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

Pipeline builder forces replay on streams when creating new object types
Hi team, in Pipeline builder, I have an existing stream pipeline that is running, and I wanted to modify it to do two things: Create a new column Then, after that, create a branch in my pipeline where I select certain column, then create a new object type When I did this, the proposal forced me to select a replay strategy. Why couldn’t I just continue the stream without replaying anything? I would expect the new object type to just pick up in the current stream. Once I remove the branch and the new object type, it did not require me to replay in the proposal. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
No value legends in Scheduling Gantt chart widget of Workshop
I am using a Scheduling Gantt chart widget in a Workshop dashboard and using the function-backed color config option linked to a function that outputs a map of a schedule containing a conditional property and the hex color String. However, the legend section on the bottom right of the Gantt chart (shown in figure) is not able to recognize the property with which each color connects and instead shows a “No Value” message. Is it possible to configure the legend names using a property or any other way? P.S. I see that using the Conditional Coloring option allows me to configure the color and name at the same go but I have about 20+ different colors to configure according to a property of the Object Type and multiple similar Gantt charts throughout my Workshop application that all use the same coloring configuration. So, I was hoping there is an easier way to do this. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Apologies to workshop

How can I connect ssms (local/ on-prem) with palantir foundry?
I am new to Palantir Foundry and am currently learning about it through YouTube. I want to use Palantir for my practice project. Project details: I am working on a data project consisting of about 40 tables in an OLTP system. Now, I want to start working on the OLAP layer. I plan to use Palantir’s Pipeline Builder for transformations, the Ontology feature for data modeling, and the Workshop for reporting. However, I am having difficulty connecting Palantir to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). I have already attempted to connect through a direct connection, but it’s not working, and I suspect I might be doing something incorrectly. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. 3 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
