The full-page layout used as content in an EntityDetailsDefinitionDocument. For details, see Document types. It renders a side panel with an entity header (name, icon, and action buttons) and a health overview section.

The health overview section is configured by alertGroups. For details, see Health indicators. alertQueryParams is optional; when omitted, health chips are derived from the active Inventory Explorer table row's data populated by ALERTS_LOOKUP.

The main body is a tabbed layout that groups cards (metadata, charts, logs, tables, and more) into named sections you can switch between.

DetailsComposition

Header

Action unions

Action arrays accept both BuiltInAction<T> references ({ "builtInAction": "..." }) and full IntentAction objects. See Elements overview.

Example

alertGroups groups Davis events by matchConditions and renders each group as a colored chip in the entity header. alertQueryParams runs a standalone query scoped to the current host via $(entityId); omit it to derive health chips from the active Inventory Explorer table row instead. The header also shows two action buttons: a built-in OPEN_WITH and a custom intent action that opens another app. The content has two tabs: an overview with an alerts table, and a properties tab with entity metadata.
