Atoms in your Workflows

Table of Contents
  • Atom Inheritance
  • Atom Filters

Atoms can be captured to extract insights and key details throughout your workspace and they can be linked to other pages in your workspace, which appear as Tags next to the Atom.

The links and connections between atoms and different pages can be used to enable access to your atoms throughout your workspace through Inheritance and Filters.

Atom Inheritance #

1. Sub-pages

Atoms captured in a sub-page will automatically be inherited by the top level page

Gina Norman is the top level page in this table. Atoms captured in G Norman Cover Letter (Documents is a Sub-Page property) are inherited by the top level page and appear in the atoms list for the top level page.

2. Linked Pages

When linking pages to other pages, there is a further option to inherit the atoms from linked pages by setting the relationship between the current page and linked page to Parent (pass atoms to linked page) or Child (inherit atoms to current page).

In the list of Linked Pages, the icon preceding the Page Information can be used to cycle through the Linked Item, Parent, Child options to determine the behaviour of the atoms in the current and Linked pages. The Icon on the far right can be used to remove the link between the pages.

When the pages are just linked, there is no exchange of atoms between them.

3. Linked Tables

When creating a link between two tables, there’s an Inheritance option in the Property Options

  1. Inherit Atoms from ‘Linked Table’
  2. Pass Atoms to ‘Linked Table’
  3. No Inheritance
For Linked Table ‘Authors’ there’s the option to select the inheritance behaviour between the tables.

Similarly to Linked Pages this defines whether atoms captured in the Linked page are inherited by the Current Page (Inherit Atoms) or atoms captured in the current page are inherited by the Linked Page (Pass atoms).

See how inheritance has been used to gather atoms together to write a blog on Protolyst

Atom Filters #

In Tables, the Atoms property will display all atoms related to the top level page in that table.

  1. Atom Count

Within the Atoms property options, you can set the column to display the number of atoms instead of a list of atoms using the Atom Count toggle.

Atom Count displays the number of atoms captured and tagged against a particular Page in a workspace. Useful for spotting if there are any categories that have been overlooked when gathering evidence and insights!

2. Filter by Linked Pages

Filters can be used to display atoms of a page within the current table, that are also tagged/linked to another chosen Page within the workspace.

When a column is set to Atoms property type, there is an option to Filter By Linked Pages to display only the atoms captured for a particular row in this table (Gina or Stephen) that were tagged with the Linked Page chosen (Relevant Experience).

Filtering is useful to separate atoms out across different topics of interest.
