Components Console

Last update: Mon Dec 04 2023 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

The Components Console lets you browse through all components defined for your instance and view key information for each component.

It can be accessed from Tools > General > Components. Because there is no tree structure for components, only list view is available.

The Components Console

NOTE
The Components Console shows all components in the system. The Component Browser shows components that are available to authors and hides any component groups that begin with a period ( .).

Search

With the Content Only icon (top left) you can open the Search panel to search and/or filter the components:

    CAUTION
    Due to the nature of the information being collected for this view, it can take a while to be collated/displayed.

  • Documentation

    If the developer has provided documentation for the component, it will appear on the Documentation tab. If there is no documentation available, the Documentation tab will not be shown.
