Store scenario metadata as objects

You can define and store metadata of a scenario in the Ontology, where each object represents a scenario, to create a persisted scenario.

When stored in the Ontology, scenarios are shareable and collaborative. Teams can compare multiple persisted scenarios side-by-side, attach rich metadata including descriptions and authorship, and link scenarios to related objects for easy organization. Persisted scenarios inherit Foundry's permissions and governance model, ensuring proper access control, and create a durable audit trail of the decision-making process.

Configure in Ontology Manager

To configure the scenario object type in Ontology Manager, follow the steps below:

1. In Ontology Manager, navigate to the Object types tab and select + New object type.

2. Follow the configuration wizard. At step 3 (Properties), choose to Add an interface, then search for the Ontology Scenario interface. Ensure that Scenario Reference is mapped to the primary key of your object type, then complete the remaining steps.
   
   
   
   

3. Once the new object type is created, open the Properties tab and confirm that the Primary Key property has a value type of Scenario Reference assigned to it.

4. Optionally, add additional properties to store metadata about the scenario, such as Created By or Description. Save the configuration and wait for the initial sync to complete.

Functions on a scenario

All functions, except AIP Logic functions, can be run on a scenario as is. If they are reading from the Ontology, they will read the state of the Ontology on the scenario. If they are making Ontology edits, they will make those edits on the scenario. Contact Palantir Support if you want to use AIP Logic on a scenario.
