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 show different amounts of information:

Idle

When the card has yet to be interacted with, you can see a card thumbnail with a summary of its content.

1	Type of content (see section below to know more about content types).
2	Name assigned when published.
3	Creator of that content.
4	The Installed green sign appears as soon as the content is installed in your domain. It will be substituted by the Update orange sign whenever there is a new version.
5	Number of times the card has been clicked and number of times it has been installed.

Hover over

When you hover over the card thumbnail the bottom part expands to reveal a short description as well.

Click

When you click on a card thumbnail it will open in full size to display all the information related to its content.

1	Name assigned when published.
2	Type of content (see section below to know more about content types).
3	Number of times the card has been clicked and number of times it has been installed.
4	Install button. If it is already installed, it will be substituted by the Open and Uninstall buttons. If there is a new version, the Update button will be displayed. To know more about installation visit Installing content.
5	Close button.
6	Autoplayed introductory video or still image.
7	The Overview tab contains the full description as well as additional info links.
8	The Version history tab displays the complete list of versions this content has had.
9	Trough the Comments tab you can share your thoughts with your peers, as well as see theirs or even reply to them.
10	The Version shows the latest available, labeled as installed if your domain already has it.
11	Creator of that content.
12	The Requirements section shows what data sources this content needs in order to show data once installed. Some of them are marked with an exclamation mark, which means it is mandatory and thus critical for the content to work correctly. They will be displayed in green only if they are available in your domain and they contain data, otherwise they will be displayed in red. For successful usage, it is highly unrecommended to install content without having at least the mandatory requirements in green. Be aware that this is an optional field which depends on the nature of the content and is specified by the owner when publishing it.
13	The Technologies involved with the use of this content. It will be shown when browsing by those technologies (we will see more about this in the sections below).
14	The Categories in which this specific content is included. It will be shown when browsing by those categories (we will see more about this in the sections below).
15	Share by sending to mail or copying link. You can send it to other people you think might be interested or to request an admin to install it for you. When accessing the link, you will be prompted to the login and domain selection screens to finally land into the open card.

Identifying content types

There are several types of content, each of them presenting some specificities and fulfilling different purposes:

Activeboards: 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.
Alert packs: 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.
Applications: 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.
Content packs: 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. Each component inside a content pack exists individually in Exchange and installing the pack installs all the individual components so they are accessible separately in Devo.
Lookups: predefined lookups designed to later enrich specific queries in the context of a given use case. Visit Data enrichment to know more.

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 four major categories and a number of filters that correspond to 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 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 to get 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.
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 recommends 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.
