  • Script

• Display icon: Choose the icon that you want to use for the component.
• Display size: Select the desired display size from the drop-down list of available options.
• Target module: Choose the module on which you want the component to be displayed from the drop-down list.
• Visibility: Select the page on which you want the component to be shown. Currently, there are two-page types to choose from: static page and dynamic page.
  • Static page: If you choose to have the component displayed on a static page, a new field called the static page field will appear. You need to select the specific page where the component will be displayed.
  • Dynamic page: If you choose to have the component displayed on a dynamic page, a new field called the dynamic page field will appear. You need to select the specific page where the component will be displayed.

Once all the details have been added, click on the “Submit” button to save.

  • Edit: you have the option to update the component details.
  • Remove: you can delete the component by clicking on the “Remove” button.

• • Clear access rights: you can also clear all access rights, making the article accessible to all members. When clearing access rights, you will receive a pop-up indicating that all access rights entries have been successfully cleared.

You can always filter your search page when searching for specific components using the “search” section.

Once the component access has been set, it will appear on the members’ portal, and it will be only accessible to the members who have been granted access to it.
