UI Builder: Can one create a reusable componet

[staticCrash]

Hello,

I was demoing UIB to my peers and these questions were asked:

1. Can an instance of a component be reusable.  For example, say if I configured a Type ahead component to allow users to search the ci_computer table, can i reuse this somewhere else in another page or experience? Without having to reconfigure another type ahead component?

2. Can a developer create their own component?

3.  Can the HTML or whatever markup is used to render a UIB page, can a developer modify that code?

Thank you,

j

The entire concept of UI builder is that you can reuse the components. So yes, you can reuse it.

And yes, if a component doesn't exist, it can be created.

Anything can be changed, but if you touch it, it's yours and if it breaks on any patch or version update, you have to fix it yourself.

Hi Mark,

How do I go about reusing a configured component, such as a type ahead select box, in another experience? 

How do I create my own componet?

Thank you,

Jay
