What's New in Topology Builder

• Launch Panel feature: We have removed a layer of complexity for Topology Builder users, empowering you to weave a story across a group of Cisco and third-party applications without having to look up URLs or remember usernames and passwords. To incorporate an iDAC splash screen that provides an intuitive experience, Demo Developers can enable a demo for the new Launch Panel from the General page.

  • Learn Mode: SEs, for example, can launch the same demo they use for selling and built it from the ground up in Learn mode. This approach provides SEs with a deep understanding of the demo's construction, empowering you to have more informed conversations with customers as discussions progress from the “WHY” to the “HOW.“
  • Demo Mode: You can demonstrate the power of the Cisco solution with a featured dCloud demo.
  • To see these modes in action, review the dCloud Solution Demos Collection.
