Discover how to access and leverage the component library, which stores all created and drafted components. This article provides guidance on navigating the library and utilizing its tools. Throughout your time with Duro, the Search bar will help you find the materials you need. Check out the brief introduction below and find a link to an article with detailed search tips.

Component library overview

You can access the component library in two different ways: either by clicking on Components within the left navigation or by selecting Add or Import Components from your Quick Access bar. Both options lead to the same page.

Columns and sorting capabilities

The component library contains a table of all of your components, regardless of status, content settings, or assembly structure. The table is interactive, allowing you to customize its presentation to your liking and preferences. Under the Settings icon, you have the option to show or hide any of the columns in the table. The CPN and Name columns, however, must always be visible within the table and cannot be hidden from view. Restructure the column order by clicking on the title of the column and dragging it to a new location. You also have the option to expand the columns to any desired width. Simply hold your cursor over the lines of the columns until an arrow appears; then, click and drag to adjust the column width.

The Autofit function automatically scales the column width to the content size, allowing for each column to present all content without being truncated. As you select components, options within the toolbar will become available to you. 

Search bar

In order to search the Duro website for specific content, you can perform a basic search using free-form text or you can perform an advanced search using key-value pairs and codes. By searching for any combination of words and characters, Duro will look across the entire website for any matches. These search functions are discussed in depth in the Search Feature article.
