Components are reusable configuration objects including Processes, Profiles, Maps, Connections, Operations, Certificates, and Map Functions. They are listed in the Component Explorer and can be created once and referenced by Process Shapes across multiple Processes. This modular design simplifies maintenance because configuration changes can be made once and then instantly applied everywhere the Component is referenced.
You can create and edit Components from the Component Explorer on the Build Tab or from within the Process Builder.
- To create a new Component from the Component Explorer, click
New at the top to display the New Component window. To edit an existing Component, navigate through the tree to the Component and double click its name.
- To create or edit a Component from within the Process Builder, drag a Shape from the palette or double click an existing Shape to display the its configuration window. At various points you will see icons to create a new () or edit (
) an existing Component. (Note: Not all Shape configurations reference Components.)
If creating a new Component, you will first see the New Component window where you can choose the Type, Name, and Folder location.
This will open the Component Editor window for that type of Component. The various configuration settings are grouped on one or more vertical tabs. Click each tab to review and/or enter values. Some Components (such as Operations) use wizards to help you configure them. For information on how to configure different types of Components, see the specific article under the Build section. When finished, click the Save & Close button at the bottom of the window.
To delete a Component from your account, go to the Component Explorer, navigate to the Component, click the dropdown arrow (
) on the name, and select Delete. This operation cannot be undone.
