Saving Logic to Niagara Palette

Once the logic has been created in one or more Application components, it is possible to save the logic or its parts for future reuse. There are 3 major steps here:

Creating a Custom Palette

First, it is required to create a dedicated user palette (or palettes):

navigate to the desired location in the User File System;
right-click on the chosen location to open the context menu;
select New → PaletteFile.palette to create a new palette;
name the palette (e.g., "CustomComponents") and confirm.

Saving Components

To save the logic or parts of the logic, follow these steps:

locate the components to be saved;

Note

It is recommended to save components under the level of the Application component in the tree. Depending on the application’s structure, it will be components located in the Equipment or Folder components, or other components located directly under the Application component.

save the selected components to the created palette:
- mark the components in the application tree and drag and drop them into the custom palette,
- mark the components in the application tree, copy them and then paste into the custom palette;
save the palette with new components using the Save option in the palette workspace.

Using Components from the Palette

To use components saved to the palette:

open the target station;
open the palette workspace and click Open Palette;
reuse components from palette:
- drag the component(s) from the palette into the application tree in the target station and drop them in the Applications container under the Application component.
- copy the component(s) from the palette and paste them into the application tree in the target station (in the Applications container under the Application component).
