Command palette
At a glance
The command palette is a quick launcher that lets you reach any page, entity, or action in just a few keystrokes. It centralizes navigation and search in a single, unified interface.
Before you begin
- You have access to an Ontologie workspace.
- You are logged into the application.
Opening the palette
Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on macOS). The palette appears in the center of the screen with an active search field.
You can also click the search field in the navigation bar to open it.
Federated search
As soon as you type at least two characters, the palette queries multiple sources simultaneously:
- Pages — All application pages and modules
- Entity types — The ObjectTypes and LinkTypes in your ontology
- Instances — Existing entity instances
- Workflows — Workflows configured in the Workflow Builder
- Actions — Kinetic actions attached to entities
- Views — Saved views (spreadsheets, dashboards)
Results are grouped by category and sorted by relevance. Recently visited items appear first.
Quick commands
When the search field is empty, the palette displays static commands grouped by module:
- Dashboard — Go to the main dashboard
- Modeler — Open the modeling canvas
- API Manager — Manage keys and endpoints
- Live Data — View data sources
- Workflow Builder — Create and manage workflows
- Agent Studio — Configure AI agents
These commands provide instant access to the main sections without typing anything.
Navigating results
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Up/Down arrows | Move selection through the list |
Enter | Open the selected item |
Escape | Close the palette |
Navigation is fully keyboard-accessible. You can also click any result to open it directly.
Command categories
When you type in the palette, results are organized into these categories:
| Category | Content | Icon |
|---|---|---|
| Pages | All application pages and views | Book |
| Entities | ObjectTypes and LinkTypes in your ontology | Cube |
| Instances | Concrete occurrences of entities | Document |
| Workflows | Configured automations | Lightning |
| Actions | Kinetic actions on entities | Arrow |
| Views | Saved views (dashboards, spreadsheets) | Grid |
To filter faster, type the first letters of the module followed by a space. For example, wor scoring will show workflows containing "scoring".
Expected outcome
You can navigate to any page, entity, workflow, or action in under three seconds using the command palette.
