Request to include a component to a component library

Submit a request for a component in an application that could be reused across multiple applications to be added to a shared component library.

Before you begin

Important:

Starting with the Washington DC release, DevOps Config is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer installed on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the Deprecation Process [KB0867184] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

Role required: cdm_admin or cdm_editor

About this task

While creating data models for their applications, DevOps Config editors and administrators may identify certain components could be reused across multiple applications. They can submit a request to the component library owners to add those components to the library.

Note:

You can only submit one request for a component for the same library at a time.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > DevOps Config > DevOps Config Workspace.
2. Select the apps icon () in the left navigation to open the Apps tab.
3. Open an application and select the Config data tab.
4. Select the shared components icon ().
   
5. In the Shared components pane, select + Create request.
6. Enter the details in the request form.

   Table 1. Create shared component request

   Field	Description
   Component	Name of the component to be added to the request. Note: Config data from the last committed changeset is added to the request, excluding any secret data values for keys, referenced variables, and file attachments in file nodes.
   Target library	Component library to which the requested component should be added. Only existing and available libraries are listed in the field.
   Component description	Description about the component, such as how it works.
   Additional details	More details about the component that could be helpful to the approver during approving.

7. Select Submit.
   A request is created for the library owner to add the selected component as a shared component in the target library. The state of the request is set as Pending review and is listed in the Shared components pane.

   You can see all of your requests from the last 30 days and filter them by their state.

What to do next

While a request is in the Pending review state, you can change its information or withdraw it by selecting the request card in the Shared components pane.

• To update the request, update the component's description or additional details in the respective fields and select Update.
• To withdraw the request, select Withdraw.

The library owner can review and approve or reject the request.
