Using Object Details Viewer
Object Details Viewer widgets are fundamental to analysis and exploration in Workstation. Workflows commonly include multiple workspaces, each with many instances of Object Details Viewer, and Events Explorer or Notifications widgets that identify important events for inspection.
Object Details Viewer fields and properties change based on the object placed inside.
Dragging Objects into Object Details Viewer
Once Object Details Viewer is added to a workspace, left-click and drag the item into the open Object Details Viewer widget.
Each event in the Events Explorer widget includes an eye icon that will send the event to an open Object Details Viewer widget, or create a new widget. Use the item's more menu (⋮) to select any specific Object Details Viewer widget based on its widget name.
Click the 'Drilldown’ tab to view a Drilldown chart for an event (if applicable).
Drag any of the following objects into the Object Details Viewer to view its details:
| Object | Use |
|---|---|
| Events | Display event details of an event, with access to optional event detail templates. Some manual actions are also possible. Event Details Viewer shows the Event tab containing all event details, and a Collections tab that shows a count and link to all collections the event is assigned to. |
| Event Notifications > View the details of this notification | Displays the event notification object to assign it a priority, to a specific user, or attach a system tag. |
| Event Notifications > View the details of this notification's event | Displays the most recent data available on the event that is tied to the notification. |
| Collections | Displays collection details. Edit or conduct assessment tasks as needed. Collections Details Viewer has a Collections tab containing all collection contents, a Custom Fields tab, and an Items tab with any events attached to the collection. |
| Drilldown Events or Solutions | View the meta data available on a drilldown event or solution. |
Use an Event Detail Template to view an alternative layout of an event's details.
Clearing Object Details Viewer
Any event, event notification, or collection can be cleared from an open Object Details Viewer widget. Clearing the widget prevents unintentional addition of events to collections, and keeps the Object Details Viewer widget open to load new objects.
It is also possible to right-click items from the Events Explorer widget, and send them to any Object Details Viewer widget open in this or another workspace. The widget does not need to be cleared to load the object.
At the top right of an open Object Details Viewer, locate the X button and click it to clear the widget.
