Tabs and Nested Panels
Create highly structured interfaces by nesting navigation components, such as dividers within tabs or multiple levels of panels, for streamlined data exploration.
Application Delivery
Web Servers
Where data and logic can turn into complex user interfaces that support mission-critical workflows.
Function inside the fabric
An application runtime, not a dashboard tier
Web Servers connect users to real-time and historical information through interactive tables, forms, trees, charts, maps and pivots. These components are not limited to passive visualization. They accept input, invoke server-side logic and initiate controlled actions.
Because a Web Server is part of the same runtime as the data and processing layers, the interface stays close to application state: updates reach the browser directly, and entitlements decide what each user may see and do.
A workflow can therefore begin as a live operational view, pass through forms and approvals, and become partly or wholly automated without moving into a separate technology stack.
Where the Application Fabric finds its name
A Center holds everything an application needs except a screen: complex event processing, data virtualization and distribution, entitlements. Applications run at the core of the fabric, headless and server-side, before any interface exists. That is where the name comes from.
Web Servers present those applications to their users, through real-time interfaces shaped to each cohort. Dashboards and layouts are one highly effective way to put a UI on a fabric data flow.
Real-time aggregation
LivePivots™: pivoting at the speed of live data
Turn pivoting from a static reporting exercise into a live capability: instant aggregation across millions of rows and thousands of columns, continuous updates in sync with every incoming data point, and entitled, workflow-aware views for every user, with no overnight refresh. LivePivots™ is delivered as part of the 3forge Application Engine.
Streamlined UI development
Building blocks for financial interfaces
Engineering teams are under pressure to deliver in weeks, not months. 3forge delivers the framework and components needed to build tailored, branded experiences for traders, risk managers and operations teams, deeply integrated with hyperscale data in real time.
Dynamic HTML
Customize content presentation with dynamic HTML capabilities, enabling rich interactivity and highly flexible user experiences directly within the application.
Dividers with Snap
Organize complex dashboard layouts with snap-in-place dividers, providing precise, intuitive control over workspace arrangement.
Transient Panels
Context-sensitive views, temporary pop-ups, and on-demand interactions, keeping the interface focused, uncluttered, and highly responsive.
Advanced Charts
Add virtually any combination of bars, scatters, lines, areas, maps, heatmaps, canvases, radial and 3D charts that update in real time.
Aggregation Tables
Summarize large volumes of data by computing sums, averages, counts, and other statistical measures, consolidating records into meaningful insights.
Real-time Pivot Tables
Slice large datasets into dynamic categories across hundreds of columns and millions of rows for pivots that update dynamically.
Real-time Tree Tables
Expand, collapse, and rearrange nodes to explore relationships. Customize hierarchies and formulas for precise, scenario-specific insights.
PDF and Email Reporting
3forge can produce and deliver automated email reports configured and composed using the same live layout model as the user interface. PDF reports offer extensive customization options, blending advanced analytics with rich, intuitive visualizations.
Logical Column Grouping
Collect related columns together under a shared header, grouping economic fields such as price and quantity so dense tables stay readable.
Organized Repeating Columns
Lay out repeating sets of columns across a row, representing the same metrics over successive time periods in a single, scannable view.
Data Aggregation
Define a relationship between columns of the same type so they can be summarized across, combining like fields into a single measure rather than rolling up rows.
Theme and style components
Dynamic styling and theming, light, dark, high-contrast and brand-directed palettes that update on the fly
ADA adherence
Keyboard navigation across complex dashboards, keyboard column filtering for tables and trees, and scripting support for panel navigation and focus
Mobile support
Transmission volumes are optimized enough to carry large datasets to mobile devices in real time on a browser-based mobile UI.
Extensive real-time charting and visualization engine
Common visualizations include: grouped bar charts, multi-line charts, transpose tables, pivot tables, CRUD tables, breadcrumb filters, heat maps, network graphs, 3D charts, area charts, Sankey diagrams, funnels, tree grids, boxplots, bullets, waterfalls, bumps, Gantt, candlesticks, scatter plots, pie charts, radial bars, speedometers, donuts, stacked roses, organizational charts, and more.
Tables and Trees add column grouping and cell-level data editing, for both real-time and static data. Configurable style templates for sparse and dense views, and dynamic light/dark themes complete the user experience.
Streamlined UI development
Tailored interfaces in weeks, not months
Engineering teams are under pressure to deliver quickly. The framework and the components are supplied, so the effort goes into the application rather than the infrastructure beneath it. Layouts take shape at the speed at which they are described, turning conversations into working interfaces in minutes rather than weeks.
-
Build the structure
A layout starts as a frame: the panels, tabs and dividers that determine what a user sees at once, arranged with drag-and-drop components and multi-monitor windowing.
-
Build the datamodel
Components bind to a data model or a feed. The model is defined in a wizard-style editor: real-time and historical sources, joins, derived columns and subscriptions, with Relays and Centers supplying what sits behind it.
-
Insert data components
The components are supplied and already bound to real-time updates.
-
Deploy
There is no deployment step. Layouts are built and run in the same browser window, and an engineer switches from User mode to Editor mode with one control key: no executable to compile, no change to publish to the back end, no front end to refresh, no software to deploy. The effect of a change is visible immediately, in the window where it was made.
User preferences, reporting, and distribution to email, Excel and PDF are intrinsic to the interface rather than bolted on.
Engineers who prefer their own tooling can build layouts from an IDE such as VS Code, or with code assistants such as Claude Code, Codex and Copilot.
Ready for production
Performance and instrumentation are already built in
3forge layout components are already optimized for high performance. For instance, 3forge Enterprise delivers:
- Server-side processing, the Centers compute and the Web Server returns the result, preserving both bandwidth and front-end responsiveness
- Real-time propagation, when one element changes, the change is carried across related datasets and views, so the interface stays coherent as complexity grows
- Deep runtime instrumentation, execution, data access, latency and throughput are measured continuously, and flame thread analysis shows where the time is spent
High performance, independently measured
STAC, a technology-research firm that benchmarks new technologies under workloads representative of financial institutions, has independently tested 3forge Web and confirmed that it exceeds the real-time performance of traditional heavyweight front-ends.
"We found that on average, the system responded with charts of 2 million data points in roughly 3.7 seconds. We also found that as 25,000 records representing 700 thousand database fields streamed into the system every second, the system made new records available for user queries in less than 150 milliseconds on average."
Across the estate
Enterprise interoperability
3forge is fully compliant with the FDC3 2.0 standard, ensuring seamless interoperability and streamlined communication between financial applications across the enterprise. It is routinely deployed on enterprise-grade browsers, including industry-leading platforms such as Here (formerly OpenFin) and Interop.io.
This compatibility guarantees that 3forge integrates smoothly into existing financial technology ecosystems, facilitating rapid adoption and maximizing productivity within complex, multi-application environments.
