When designing a page or a component template, ready-to-use components are available out of the box.
However, to meet specific needs, integrators and designers can choose to design a custom component. Custom components implement self-contained HTML, CSS, or JavaScript as defined in a dedicated editor to achieve one or more of the following objectives:
- Modify a component's appearance.
- Configure the source, type, or quantity of the information that the component mobilizes.
Custom components are available in the following locations:
- Administration > Design > Home
- Administration > Design > Custom
- Administration > Design > Search
- Administration > Design > Reader
- Administration > Design > Shared components
As for all components, only one person at a time should edit a custom component to avoid conflicts.
Information:
PORTAL_ADMIN users can only edit custom components if an ADMIN user has disabled the Custom components toggle.
The Custom component screencast also contains information about configuring a custom component.
