Create a component by first selecting a schema and then filling in the fields for the component (as defined by the schema).
Before you begin
To create a component you must have Component Management rights, as well as write permissions for the folder where the component is being created.
Procedure
- Within a publication, go to the folder in which you want to create the new component.
- Select .
- Define a name for the component and select the schema.
- Fill in all mandatory fields and optional fields as necessary. Mandatory fields have a red asterisk (*) beside them.
- If you see a Metadata tab, then you can also add metadata to describe and classify the Component, including classification according to a taxonomy. Select the tab and complete the fields, as needed. Some metadata fields may be mandatory.
Note: Content retrieval and management of data depends on the effective classification and tagging of your information. In addition, the classification may be used to generate website navigation, dynamically assemble content or for other purposes.
- When you are done, click Finish.
Results
Depending on the item's schema, the item may now enter workflow. When an item goes into workflow, it is automatically locked. In addition, you may be required to add the component to a bundle. When this is the case, you will be prompted to select the bundle after you create the component.
