Working with Configuration Components
The component menu enables you to manipulate components on the Add/Edit Configuration page configuration tree. The component menu is displayed when you click the component menu icon (
) beside an applicable node on the component tree.
The component menu is context-sensitive, which means that the component type associated with the specific component menu icon dictates which options appear when that component menu is displayed. The component menu can include the following types of options:
Add, to add components (such as folders, processes, or KPIs) to the component tree. You can add components beneath the
Root node or beneath another (already existing) node. There is also an
Add KPI Filter selection to create a filter for the display of KPI instances on the Analytics Overview page.
Rename, to rename the selected node (including the
Root node).
Cut and
Paste, to rearrange the position of nodes (along with their children) in the component tree. (You also can use the drag-and-drop method to rearrange the position of nodes in the component tree.)
Sort, to alphabetically sort the selected node's children.
Delete, to delete nodes (along with their children) from the component tree.
Each of these component menu options is described in detail in the specific procedures that follow. In addition, you can find some information on the Help window that is accessible from the user interface.
The procedures in the following sections describe how to add components to the component tree. These procedures assume that you are working from the Add/Edit Overview Component page.
