Creating a component from the process canvas

One of the parts of the Build page from which you can create an individual component is the process canvas.

Procedure

1. On the Build page, open a process.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Drag a step from the steps palette onto the canvas.

   • Click an existing step in the process to display its configuration window.

3. At various points you may see an icon for creating a new component. Click Create a new component.

   note

   Not all steps reference components.

   The component opens on a new tab.

4. Type a name for the component.

   The maximum length is 255 characters.

5. Type a description.

6. Configure the other fields as needed for the component.

7. Click Save or Save and Close to save the process containing the new component.

Next Steps

If you create a process or deployable component and are ready to deploy it, after clicking Save, click the Create Packaged Component button. The Create Packaged Component wizard opens. Complete the steps in the wizard and click the Deploy button on the final confirmation message. Your component appears in the list of packaged components on the Deploy > Packaged Components page. It also appears in the list of deployed components on the Deploy > Deployments page.
