Samples
Intended audience: END-USERS DEVELOPERS
AO Platform: 4.2
Overview
The Samples solution is represented by this icon in the Solution menu:
The Samples solution is a showcase for the myriad of data presentation and interaction options available when creating the user interface for a solution with the AO Platform. It is the hope that through the Samples, the AO Platform provides ideas and inspirations to the solution builders for how to visualize data as well as allow users to interact with the data.
Many of the components used to create the Samples are already available in the various Composers by default or via Templates, but the App Orchid Support team is also available to help show the way if something unique is required for a given solution.

Flex Layout - Focuses on showing different types of Application Layouts and their flexible options used to optimize dashboard views on different types of devices and screen resolutions.
UI Templates - Focuses on showing different types of Cue Cards. A Cue Card typically shows a single data point - often a count/sum/min/max/avg of a dataset - alongside some chart representation or icon illustrating at-a-glance the current status/result of some data. Examples include various styling/formatting options, templates and layouts.
