Using Component Templates

When you create a component based on a template, the component inherits any processes and properties the template may have.

To create a template-based component:

  1. Navigate to Management > Components > Templates > [select template] > Create Component.

    The Create Component dialog (the same dialog used to create non template-based components) is used to configure component. Properties defined in the template will be predefined. If a source was selected in the template, the source is set here and the Source Config Type field is locked. For information about using this dialog, see Creating Components.

  2. After configuring editable properties, save the component.

Templates used to create components are listed in the Templates view.

Components created from templates are listed in the Components view.
