Custom Component Properties
The following describes the fields on the New Custom Component and Edit Custom Component windows used to define a custom component. When you are creating a custom component, certain fields might be automatically populated based on information entered on the Lookup Component window. However, any field can be edited.
|
Component Field |
Description |
||||||
|
Create Using |
(Available when creating a component) The “form” mode used to create the custom component. The information you entered on the Lookup Component window (or on the Components tab on the Global Component & License Lookup tab) initially determines the mode used, but you can switch modes as needed.
If the URL is recognized as belonging to a supported forge-URL domain supported for custom component creation, required component fields are automatically populated on the Lookup Component window. See the URL field description next in this table for more information.
|
||||||
|
URL |
(Available under Create Using during component creation when the URL form is selected) The project or forge URL for which you are creating the custom component. If the URL is recognized as belonging to a supported forge-URL domain supported for custom component creation, required component fields are automatically populated according to domain conventions. Any change made to this URL is automatically updated to the other field values when you click Get Details. If the URL does not belong to a supported domain, you must manually provide all remaining necessary component details. (Click Get details to display the fields.) For information about supported forge-URL domains, see Supported Forge-URL Domains for Custom Components. |
