How To Create Components

Steps

1. In the left-hand navigation menu, click components.

   The HTML user interface displays the components page, which lists the components already checked in to the database.

2. In the top row of the table listing components, enter a name in the component field for the new component, and click create.

   The HTML user interface displays the Components Details Edit page for the new component. This page is slightly different from the component edit page discussed earlier in that the name and type can be changed here.

3. Use the controls on this page to specify the necessary information that will make up the component.

   • Change the name in the component field, if desired. Once the component is checked in you will not be able to change the name.

   • Select the type from the pull down menu. The component edit page fields will change to match those relevant to the component type selected.

   • Select the platform from the pull down menu.

   • Enter a label in the Label field.

   • Enter a description in the Description field.

   • Continue entering the required information. The information required from here will depend on the component type selected.

   • When finished click check in.

   The HTML user interface displays a window reporting that it is checking in the component as version 1.0.

4. Click continue to check in to finish checking in the component.
