Create the Custom Component Based on a Keyword in Its Name or Title

Code Insight 2021 R2

Use the following method to create the custom component based on a keyword in the name or title you intend to give the component.

To create a custom component based on a keyword in its name or title:

1. After you have performed Step 1: Access the Component Lookup Feature, select the Keyword option on the Lookup Component window.
2. In the Keywords field, enter a keyword used in the name of the component you are creating.

3. (Optional) Click Search to see the list of existing components whose names contain the keyword. If the component you intend to create already exists, you can select an instance of the already existing component to associate with the inventory item, or you can continue to create a custom component with different name and title (continue with the next step).

Keep in mind that the name and title of a component you create must be unique in the Code Insight data library.

4. Click Create New Component to open the New Custom Component window, showing the Name and Title fields automatically populated with the keyword you entered.

Note that window opens in the Free Form format, enabling you to add missing values and edit pre-populated values for the component as needed.

5. Update the component fields as necessary, noting that the Name, Title, and URL fields are required. (Click in the upper part of the window for examples of the standard name, title, and URL conventions used by the Forge value you select.) If you do not know the URL, enter NA. For more information about these fields, see Custom Component Properties.
6. Click Save.
• If the component information has been properly entered, the component is saved to the Code Insight data library and listed in the Lookup Component window. Continue with Step 3: Associate an Instance of the Custom Component with the Inventory Item.
• If the component name and title combination already exists in the data library, an error message is displayed. You can either select the already-existing component from the Lookup Component window to associate it with the inventory item or edit the custom component details to provide a different name or title.
