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.
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.
