Resources

The Resources view shows a paged list of all the Resources defined in the tenant.  Resources are used to specify connection and authentication information for external systems (e.g., databases, FTP servers, etc.) that can be shared across multiple components and blueprints.

Resource Details

Selecting a resource from the resource list will open up the resource details view to the right of the list with the details for the selected resource.  The resource details view shows basic information about the resource along with the resource specific settings.

Resource Type

The specific type of this resource.

Display Name

The name assigned to this resource.  This name can be updated.  It is used throughout the UI whenever this resource is being referenced.

Description

A description for this component.  This is user-facing and can contain any information that you want to record or convey to other users or to your future self.

Parameters

The parameters for this resource.  These vary depending on the specific resource type.  For details on the parameters for a specific resource type, look up the documentation for that resource type.

Create Resource

To Create a new Resource, click the Add Resource button.  You will be presented with the resource creation form.  On the form, select the type of resource you want to create, specify a display name and description for the resource, and set all the parameters for the selected resource type.  Once the form is complete, click Save New Resource to create the new resource.

Some Resource Types have multiple subtypes (e.g. SQL Database Connection).  For these resource types, you will need to select the specific resource subtype you are creating before you can set the resource parameters.
