3. Selecting Store Items - Create

A crucial part of having a store is finding the correct content without going through many hoops and checks and balances before finding the correct store item for you. Therefore we have opted to embed the store functionality in the user process. As a result, you will have the option to browse the store while being in Create. To do so, you can navigate to the flow in question you would like to edit. On the page that will open, you will see the standard components and the store in the left panel.

By clicking on the store, you will see the various store items, including the option to filter the store items so you can search on your criteria.

When expanding the filter option on the store level, you will see that you can search on the name of the store item, on a system, supported data, and store item type. Each of these options (or a combination of those options) can be used to explore the store further, so you arrive at a more narrowed result set of store items. Note that the search is active while typing. This means that when you start typing, the filter will be applied, and the results you see will change.

When you have narrowed down your selection, you can learn more about each store item that is still available after your search by pressing Details on the store item itself (by hovering over the store item and pressing Details). This will provide you with a pop-up in which you can learn several things:

  • Latest version
  • Number of imports
  • Extended documentation, including references to microlearnings
  • Other versions & variants
  • Ask a question
