1. 5S Radar Chart Widget Unit Test
Have you ever wanted to compare your 5S audit results to a set target or goal? The 5S Radar Chart Widget allows you to add a radar or spider chart to your Tulip application to show results from a single 5S audit or multiple 5S audits compared to your target or goal. This widget gives you a great visual representation of your current 5S scores versus target scores and allows you to quickly see what areas are doing well and what areas need improvement.
2. Image Annotation Widget Unit Test
The Image Annotation Custom Widget allows you to make annotations onto an image in Tulip and save this annotated image to a table record. Some potential use cases for this widget are:
- Identifying and annotating faulty machine parts
- Pointing out a specific issue when creating a defect report
- Providing managers with specific notes to review errors
- Can be used in all defect tracking applications
This widget allows you to more accurately highlight any defects or issues.
Have you ever wanted to provide additional instructions to an operator without cluttering your Tulip application? The Tool-Tip widget adds a tiny ‘?’ icon onto your Tulip application, allowing you to provide more context for an operator when hovered over by a mouse. This can be used to answer commonly asked questions or provide additional instructions that you may not want to feature prominently on your application.
Have you ever wanted to mass update Tulip Table Records? You can now do that with the Looper Widget available on the Tulip Library. The Looper Widget allows you to create an array of records that you can then apply a mass update action to. The Looper Widget can be used to mass update the status of parts/defect reports.
5. Tulip Template Applications
Template for Work Instructions
Have you thought about digitizing your work instructions in a Tulip application? The template for Work Instructions application provides a starting point for building out your very own work instructions application. This application provides different layouts as examples and ideas for creating your own work instruction steps. Quickly copy step layouts to build new work instructions faster, and configure each template to your needs.
The Basic Desktop Templates are an easy way to get started building standardized Tulip apps for desktops. The new step of templates for Tulip apps is designed to be the starting point for any new app creation. They are not specific to any application type. The goal is to provide the user with a blueprint with basic design elements and transitions so that the user can focus on adding triggers and logic. Overall, these templates should constitute the first building block to help in the creation of new Tulip apps.
