See more details in the component grid

When you open the Components tab, only a few columns are displayed by default: Name and Type. If you want to see more details in the grid, you can add more columns, such as Followed by, Word count, and Updated date.

Use column headings to see details about a component, such as it's Name and Type.

Add more details by selecting additional Columns.

Inspire remembers how you customize the column display. The next time you open the Components tab, Inspire uses your choices instead of the default. If you want Inspire to forget your customization and return to showing the default columns, you must clear your browser's cache.

You can't hide the eight unlabeled columns before Name that Inspire uses to show you an icon.

These icons quickly let you know the following characteristics of a component:
  • State (, , , ). The first column lets you quickly identify appropriate actions you can take on a file.
    • Draft. The component can be edited and isn't ready for publishing or translation yet.
    • Invalid. The component has one or more links that can't be resolved.
    • Approved (No signature required). An Inspire user has approved the component for publishing or translation and it shouldn't be changed. Approved components can be locked with a green system lock.
    • Approved and signed. (Signature required). You are required to enter your full name to attach an electronic signature for approval. The component is ready for publishing or translation and it shouldn't be changed. Approved components can be locked with a green system lock.
    • In translation. The component is included in a translation job and it is still being translated. An administrator can decide if the component is unlocked for editing or not while in translation.
  • Lock ( , , , , ). The second column tells you if anyone else is using the file currently and if you can edit it.
    • Unlocked. The component isn't being edited by another user or in use by Inspire.
    • Locked by another user. Another user has opened this component and made changes that may have been saved but not submitted yet.
    • Locked by you. You have opened this component and made changes that may have been saved but not submitted yet.
    • Locked by Inspire. Inspire prevents other users from editing the component while it's being processed. This can include the process of reviewing, for example.
    • Locked after approval. A component has been approved and an administrator has configured components to be locked upon approval.
  • Branch (, , ). The third column tells you that a copy of a component has been saved as a branch.
    • Has a branch. This is the source component for a branch. Components it references may also be branched with it.
    • Is a branch. This component was branched because a source component referenced it.
    • Has and is a branch. This component is both the source of one branch and included in another branch because a difference source component referenced it.
  • Attachment ( , , ). The fourth column tells you if another component in Inspire is added to the Component Details as an attachment. This is useful if you want to attach a file for reference.
    • Has an attachment. Has a relationship with another component in Inspire called an attachment. It lists a reference file that is added on the Component Details screen, on the Attachments tab.
    • Is an attachment. Is related to another component in Inspire as an attachment. It is a reference file that is attached to another component.
    • Has and is an attachment. Has the following relationships with another component:

  • Follow ( , ). The fifth column tells you if you or another Inspire user has signed up to receive a notification when another user deletes or updates the component.
    • Followed by you. Sends you a notification when another user deletes or updates a component.
    • Followed by another Inspire user. Tells you that another user is following the component, but you aren't.
  • Referenced ( ). The sixth column tells you the number of components that reference this component. To see the number, hover your cursor over the icon. A component is only counted once, even if it includes multiple references to this component.
  • Shared ( ). The seventh column tells you the number of references in Inspire. To see the number, hover your cursor over the icon. All references are counted, even if one component references this component multiple times.
  • Tags (). The eighth column tells you if at least one component tag has been added to a component's Inspire-based metadata. To see a list of all tags applied, hover your cursor over the tag icon.

If you forget what an icon means, you can hover your cursor over a column heading to see a tooltip.
