Global Branching and Restricted Views - Workaround / waiting time
Hi everyone! My team and I have been taking advantage of the end to end testing provided by Global Branching. We are very happy with the feature and have found it very useful. However our ontology objects are backed by restricted views. Restricted views are currently integrated with Global Branching only in experimental phase. Thus we cannot fully test our features, as we cannot add the restricted view to the global branch. I believe that opting in or out of experimental features is an organization level permission, so I wont be able to simply just use the experimental phase. Thus my options are: Deal with it (Push schema changes into production without using global branching) Stop using restricted views in favor of normal datasets (Can the permissions be configured at the object level? Can I fully replicate restricted views capabilities?) Does anyone know when restricted views for global branching will be available for everyone? Or can anyone answer my second point, as
GPU resource allocation on sidecar transforms
I have a sidecar transform that needs to use a GPU. How should I configure the resources? @sidecar(image="my-compute-module", tag="0.0.1", volumes=[Volume("shared")], resource_profile="LARGE_CPU_LARGE_MEMORY_GPU_ENABLED") @configure(["NUM_EXECUTORS_1", "EXECUTOR_GPU_ENABLED", "EXECUTOR_GPUS_1"]) both? 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic

Tackling a Battlefield Network Bottleneck with Palantir Ontology and Edge AI
Recently, our team had the opportunity to work on a project that won the Grand Prize at the Republic of Korea Army AI Competition. Around the same time, we also participated in the National Security Hackathon in San Francisco, where we explored ontology-mirroring edge devices and Foundry-based streaming workflows. Together, these experiences led to some interesting insights. One of the challenges we encountered was not AI itself, but the battlefield network. As drones, ISR platforms, and sensors continue to proliferate, the amount of available data is growing rapidly. However, tactical communications infrastructure remains constrained. In many operational environments, especially where LTE or fixed infrastructure is unavailable, communication relies heavily on RF-based tactical networks. Under those conditions, transmitting large volumes of video data in real time becomes increasingly difficult. The question we explored was simple: What if we transmitted informat
Show & Tell: Auto-Converting Workshop Dashboards to Live React Apps
All, I wanted to share a cool internal tool we recently built at Object Edge to accelerate our custom frontend development on top of Foundry. We often find that while Workshop is a fantastic operational assistant for internal workflows, we frequently need to build custom user interfaces in React for external use cases. To speed up our development cycle, we created an extension that takes a Workshop layout and automatically generates a React application. Here is the post on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/object-edge_turn-a-palantir-workshop-into-a-live-react-activity-7468739348956585984-SWFX?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAM4KkBnKmkKO8C-_xYyUEQdslmweIqodk Here is a quick look at how it works: The extension grabs the active Workshop ID and your Foundry environment URL. With one click, it translates the UI components (like pie charts, bar charts, and data tables) into a React codebase. It automatically wires up the connecti
Untrusted server certificate in Deep Dive: Creating Your First Data Connection
HI, While following the tutorial for Data Connection: Relational Database of ‘Deep Dive: Creating Your First Data Connection’, I encountered an ‘Untrusted server certificate’ error when trying to execute ‘Explore and import Source data to a Foundry dataset’. Could you please advise on how to resolve this matter? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Application landscape of Foundry
Can someone show or prepare a practical application landscape of Palantir Foundry? I am looking for a real map of Foundry apps, not an abstract marketing diagram. Ideally, it should show Ontology in the center, pipelines/integration tools below, and operational apps like Workshop and others above. Text and picture versions are welcome. I want to understand: which apps are core, default for common tasks and should be learned first; which one are more advanced; where apps overlap; which ones are newer or legacy; how they are interconnected. thank you! 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Workshop Variables
I really like Workshop. It’s incredibly powerful, the UI options produce clean apps, and I’m genuinely proud of the dashboards I build here. But there is one thing I absolutely cannot get the hang of: the Workshop Variable system. Coming from a traditional repository code background, I’m used to organizing my logic neatly into folders and separate files. Trying to manage Workshop Object Sets, UI variables, and Custom Functions all in one flat list feels like complete chaos as a newbie. Right now, the chain of actions hurts my brain: I have to create an Object Set, add a filter to it, create an aggregation variable to count the rows, and then link that to a KPI card. To fight this “variable fatigue,” I’ve started using a single TypeScript Custom Function to handle all my KPI calculations on the backend just to keep my Workshop variable panel clean. It feels like a solid workaround, but is it a bad architectural practice? I really want to master Workshop! Does anyone have any pro-t
Switch between multiple workshop embedded modules
I have a Workshop applciation which acts as a parent module, to that we have embedded multiple other workshop modules. The ask is to switch easily between these “child” modules with the filtered data as they are having the same backing object. So I have a event which allows this trigger, but how can I exactly do this without redirecting to other tabs/ open new window? It should be a smooth transation similar to how for example switch between tabs or event a button. Similarly to switch between child modules which are all on the same level. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Notepad / PowerPoint generator
Hi, i have an Interesting use case I am exploring and would love people’s insights Currently I have a notepad generator that creates Notepad based on Ontology data. I also have a PowerPoint generator that creates a PowerPoint doc based on Ontology data. I want to combine the two. I want to create the Notepad, have the user edit the notepad. And then use the notepad to form my PowerPoint. I am looking for any guidance on how I can get the notepad data to be able to do this. Currently the only possible route would be too use the internal Foundry API i attached below, but open to any other ideas. https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/api/v2/notepad-v2-resources/files/content-file/ 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Question regarding drag-and-drop workflow from Object Explorer to Workshop
Hi everyone, I’m currently watching the DevCon 4 presentation on Ontology-backed App Building (16:08) and noticed the demo shows the presenter seamlessly dragging and dropping objects directly from Object Explorer into the Workshop interface. When I try to replicate this in my own environment, I don’t see the same option to filter the object set or add it to the canvas as shown in the video. Could anyone clarify if this requires a specific configuration, or if there is a particular setting I might be missing to enable this drag-and-drop capability? Any guidance or documentation links would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! video link: https://youtu.be/Cgn52Qqgxeg?si=d0DoVFPnanSWIW_i&t=972 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Using AIP Agents to Detect Financial Anomalies
Financial datasets are noisy by nature, variance in revenue recognition, irregular payment cycles, and seasonality make it hard to distinguish real anomalies from expected fluctuations. AIP Agents can cut through that noise. By combining Ontology-linked financial objects with agent logic, you can build a system that continuously monitors key metrics, flags statistical outliers, and triggers downstream actions without manual intervention. The interesting challenge here isn’t just detection, it’s context. An agent that knows why a number looks off is far more useful than one that simply flags it. Anyone experimenting with AIP Agents for financial monitoring? Would like to exchange approaches 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
What is Software-Defined Data Integration?
I found references to Software-Defined Data Integration (SDDI) in non-technical articles about Palantir. However, I do not see this term clearly explained in Foundry learning materials. Is SDDI a marketing concept, the name of a specific technical approach, an embedded Foundry capability that is not visible as a separate tool, or a legacy term? 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Email Listeners
I’m experimenting with Foundry Email Listeners (they are cool) One thing I’m unsure about: after I start/trigger the listener, the build appears to keep running continuously, which I assume is because it is acting as a listener rather than a normal finite build. Is that expected behavior for Email Listeners? Or is there anything I should monitor / worry about, such as cost, stuck builds, resource usage, or misconfiguration? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic

UI/UX enhancement requests regarding the variable menu on the left-hand side of Workshop.
Hello Palantir Foundry Community, I would like to share two UI/UX enhancement requests regarding the variable menu on the left-hand side of Workshop. 1. Preserve folder-based organization for variables linked to the active component Currently, variables can be organized into folders, which is very helpful for managing a large number of variables. However, when a variable is linked to the currently active component, it appears to be pulled out and displayed at the top level. As a result, variables that were originally organized within folders can become harder to find, because they no longer appear in the folder structure where users expect them to be. Would it be possible to preserve the folder-based display even when variables are linked to the active component in Workshop? This would help users maintain a consistent mental model and make it easier to locate variables in larger Workshop applications. 2. Add an option to expand or collapse all variable folders at once
