What is a Widget in Workshop terminology?

• A. A data export tool that streams data to external systems.
• B. A serverless function that runs in the cloud.
• C. A stylesheet for styling the interface.
• D. A UI component that binds to Ontology data and can trigger events.

Answer: (D)

In Workshop terminology, a Widget is a UI component you place on a dashboard that connects directly to the Ontology data model. This binding means the widget can display data from defined entities and attributes, and it can also affect that data based on user interaction. What makes a widget powerful is that it can trigger events—actions that propagate through the workspace, such as filtering other components, initiating a workflow, or updating related data when a user clicks, selects, or edits something.

Think of a chart, table, or control on a dashboard that reflects the underlying Ontology, and when you interact with it, it causes other parts of the interface to respond. This distinguishes a Widget from other concepts like data export tools, serverless compute, or stylesheets, which serve different roles.
