Editing a Custom Component

You can edit a custom component either from the Global Component & License Lookup tab or within the context of an inventory item with which it is associated. The changes you make are immediately saved to the Code Insight database and made available for Lookup Component searches for any inventory.

Additionally, once changes to a component are saved, the process of indexing these changes in the Code Insight Data Library begins immediately in the background. When the indexing process is complete, the updated custom component is made available for global component searches that users can perform against the Code Insight Data Library. For important information about the indexing process and these searches, see Note About the Indexing Process for Custom Components.

Use either procedure to edit a custom component:

•

Editing a Custom Component Within the Context of an Inventory Item
