Adding a component to your building model involves dragging the component from a palette, possibly setting the Config Flag on the component slot, and configuring the component to assign it to a category. A component may be a new network, device
or service.
Prerequisites:
- If required, you have a license to add the component to your model.
- Any categories, roles (permissions) to assign to the component have been set up.
- The users who will access the component exist in the system.
- Open the palette that contains the component module.
- Expand the Nav tree to view the Services or Drivers container.
- Do one of the following:
- Drag the component from the palette to the Property Sheet or Driver Manager.
- Drag the component to the appropriate Services or Driver container in the Nav tree
The Name window opens.
- Change the name of the component, or use the default name and click OK.
- If you need to configure the permission level for the new component slot, right-click the component in the Nav tree and click
Slot Sheet, then right-click the slot and click Config Flags.
- Leave the
Operator config flag unchecked for the admin permission level (this level allows read and write access).
- Toggle this flag (checked) for the operator permission level (this level restricts user access to a minimum of read-only permission).
- To assign the component to a category, do one of the following:
- Add the component to the category using the Category Browser.
- Add the component to the category using the component’s Category Sheet.
- If you created a new basic category, update the role assigned to users of this component to include permissions for the new
component, otherwise confirm that the role includes the category.
- Confirm that component Status is {ok}.
You are ready to configure the component.
