Create a Component

Assuming you already have Installation taken care of.

Components are created in the Dashboard, using the the [+COMPONENT] button.

You can click on Learn More in the component description to access its documentation. All of the iNTERFACEWARE Collections components are documented for your reference.

  1. Select a component

  2. Name your component

  3. Add Tags

  4. Click to Add the component

Notice you can also filter the components displayed by Collection - use the All Collections dropdown to select the Collection you want to display.

Tags are used to categorize and add functionality to components. For example, #autostart is used by IguanaX to determine if components should be automatically started when the IguanaX server starts up.

See Component Cards for more information.

Many components have Custom Fields which you can edit and set by clicking the ellipsis beside each one. The idea is that many components need to be configured for the environment they are in without the need to fully Edit a Component.

You can start and stop components using the button in the top left corner:

You can also do it from the list of components on the left of the dashboard and using Bulk Actions in the dashboard.

That shows the core operation of IguanaX. The real power comes from being able to Edit a Component.
