Change the Display of Components
You can customize the appearance of Components portlet on the Develop tab using the View menu.
The default display format includes a basic list of component names. You can add additional details, such as developers' remarks, component status, creation statistics, or variable information.
To add additional columns to this display
1. Activate the Components portlet and click View, Columns.
The Select Component Columns dialog appears.
2. Select additional details to be displayed (for example, Creation Date and Type).
Note: The choices you make here affect the list of available search options displayed in the Find Component Property dialog. For more information, see
Find an Application or Component (see
Find an Application or Component).
3. Click OK.
Additional columns appear in the Components portlet.
Note: Each column header is also a button. Click a column header to sort the list based on that column's contents; click again to switch between ascending and descending order.
You can change the display format to a list view with properties, a simple list view, or icons only.
