When you create a component based on a template, the component inherits any process(es) the template may have (see Component Processes), and any possible properties (see Component Properties).
To create a template-based component:
-
Display the Create New Component dialogComponents > Templates > [selected template] > Create New Component [button].
The Create New 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.
-
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.
