Browse to add existing components to a project

You can use a project to collect components, participants, and assignments that you need to meet a specific goal. To quickly find a component to add to your project, you can browse through folders. To learn about other ways to find and add components, read Add existing components to a project.

Before you begin

  • You can only add a component to the same project once. To prevent you from adding a component that is already in the project, Inspire does not show components on the Select Components screen if they are already in the project.
  • You can add the same component to multiple projects. You see a warning, but you can ignore it and add the component anyway.

To browse to add existing components to a project:

  1. Click Projects_TopMenuOpt Projects.
  2. On the Project Management tab, double-click to open the project you want to update.
    You can access the same menu by clicking the content menu icon Action_Menu and selecting Open.
  3. In the Content pane, select the folder where you want to add components.
  4. From the Component menu add_existing_component_icon, select Add Existing Component.
  5. On the Select Components screen, expand the folder structure to locate the component that you want to add to the project.

    If you cannot find a component, it may be hidden because it is already in the project. Inspire prevents you from adding a component that is already in the project.

  6. In the Components pane, select the checkbox for one or more components to add to the project.
  7. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you've added all the components you need.
  8. On the Select Components dialog, click Select.
