Packaged Component

Overview

Often times you will assemble a group of components that you may want to use over and over again. There are multiple ways to achieve this.

• Packaged Components are created and managed by the Packages App. The package toolbox then lets you view the saved packages when editing a page where you can add any of them to the page.
• Encapsulated Components

Encapsulated Components

When inserting a package into a new page, the components are each added as a separate component. For example, if you create a package that consists of a data component and chart, when those components are added into a new page, both the data and the chart will appear as separate components in the new page. They will both appear in the components dialog, and they can be edited and removed from the page separately.

If you wish treat the components as a single unit, then you can specify that the packaged should be encapsulated. When you paste the components, even though they will render like they normally do, only one new component (the encapsulated component) will appear in the page.
