Identifying content cards

Each piece of content is presented as an individual entity in the form of an interactive card. This card presents three different appearances depending on the interaction level triggered by the user and shows different amounts of information:

Identifying content types

There are several types of content, each of them presenting some specificities and fulfilling different purposes (click the expand and see the details):

Predefined Activeboards with a set of widgets and queries designed to show data to analyze specific contexts or use cases.

Visit Activeboards to know more.

Fully functional modules developed on top of Devo's Applications SDK (Software Development Kit).

They are sometimes additional content to face new situations or reduced versions of specific functionalities of the Devo Platform for a focused and enhanced workflow.

Visit Applications to know more.

Predefined lookups are designed to later enrich specific queries in the context of a given use case.

Visit Data enrichment to know more.

Combinations of components designed to tackle specific situations, covering both data reception and usage.

They consist of a data injector (synthetic data) and a data receptor (a data handler available in Exchange, normally an Activeboard, an Application or an Alert pack). As with Content packs, all components inside a use case exist individually in Exchange, and are installed and accessible upon installation of the use case.

Despite serving a particular purpose, this kind of content is very versatile in the sense that they can be designed for a variety of contexts.

Predefined sets of alerts based on specific queries to warn you about anomalous situations based on specific use cases.

Visit Alerts and notifications to know more.

Sets of different components grouped together to address different aspects of a specific task or use case. The combination may be whatever the creator see fit for the specific use to case to face, both in number and type of components.

All components inside a content pack exist individually in Exchange, and are installed and accessible upon installation of the use case.

ServiceOps maps are logical representations of different scenarios inside the Service Operations application to achieve a particular set of business goals.

Exchange offers the possibility to install predefined maps that are useful for specific purposes.

Visit Service Operations to know more.

Data set designed to be injected into your domain to provide you with certain data you do not have.

This can have a variety of applications, such as allowing a correct use for another Exchange content for which you lack the necessary data, performing an occasional task you don’t usually perform, preparing for a future work area your unit might get involved with, or as part of a predefined use case to cover a specific situation.

We will talk a bit more about the particularities of each type in the Installing content article.

Navigating through categories

In order to find what you are looking for, there are several ways of filtering content cards, and you can find them all at the top. There are five major categories and a number of filters that correspond to the technologies involved and the tags applied when published. We will see them all in the sections below.

In any of the categories except for Discover you can filter by type with the options that appear below. In any of the categories except for Discover and Recently visited you can change the sorting criteria at the top right.

You can use the search field at the top left by introducing any string, which will be used to look for matches in any of the fields (name, content type, technology, category, etc.). Once you introduce a string, you will be brought to a different screen displaying the results at the bottom and more filters to further narrow down your search.

Discover

The default view when accessing Devo Exchange is Discover. In this view you can find:

Highlights: this is a dynamic section with looping content that displays a selection of what Devo recommends right now for all domains. This is useful for getting informed about specific events or valuable content.
Featured: this section displays the content Devo recommends for all domains. Additionally, it also recommends content suitable for your domain in terms of availability, that is content with the required data sources available, ordered by relevance.
Use cases: this section displays some of the most popular use cases in Devo. Use them to inject data and activate alerts, feed Activeboards, etc.
Trending: the most visited content.
New & Noteworthy: the most recently added content.
Most popular: the most installed content.

All

When you select All you will see all available content ordered by relevance, which is calculated using an algorithm that considers several parameters such as correlation and classification to recommend the most relevant content to the target audience.

Recently visited

When you select Recently visited you will see the latest content you have viewed. To consider content as viewed you must have clicked it to display it in full size with all the information.

Recommended for you

When you select Recommended for you you will see only the content with the data sources available for your specific domain. Remember that if the data sources in question have not been made available in Devo, the content in question will not show any data when installed.

Use cases & data

When you select Use cases & data you will see a set of resources designed to help you with specific contexts and situations for which you might lack the necessary data. Note that this content is mostly intended for testing, demos, and training sessions.
