Use multiple resource folders for your Java libraries if you need to limit library usage to specific channels or if you have many Java libraries.

(Settings > Resources) Avoid putting all of your custom Java libraries in the Default Resource folder ("custom-lib"). You may have added a particular Java library to be used by a single channel. If so, place that library into a separate resource and enable that resource for that one channel under the "Dependencies" section of the Channel Properties. A danger of having too many libraries in the default resource is that unexpected runtime conflicts could occur between different libraries. Parent topic: Channel Configuration

Use tags to categorize your channels

If you have a large number of channels to manage, tags can help you keep them organized. See the NextGen Connect User Guide on the NextGen Knowledge Center for more information. Parent topic: Channel Configuration

Link Libraries to Channels

In order to use code templates within channels, the library must be linked to the channel. This is important because it allows you to "namespace" your code so that the same function name can appear in multiple libraries but serve different purposes. It also allows a degree of isolation, so that a particularly expensive code template need not be included in all channels, but instead only in the channels it needs to be. To edit the links between code template libraries and channels, use the Channels table on the right side of this panel. The [New Channels] check box indicates that the library should be included not only for the currently checked channels, but also on all new channels that get created later. For example if you have a library that you wish to always include on all channels no matter what, check this option. Note that these links are the same as what is configured in the Code Template Libraries dependency tab in the Summary Tab of the Edit Channel View. Parent topic: Edit L

Code Template Libraries

This tab allows you to link code template libraries to the current channel you are editing. Note that this accomplishes the same thing as including channels on the Edit Library Panel within the Edit Code Templates View. It is included here as well within the Edit Channel View for convenience. The tree within this tab is organized in a way that Libraries are the top-level nodes, and each Code Template underneath is a child of that library. Select any library or code template row, and if a description is available, it will show in the bottom section of the dialog. Link Code Template Libraries Parent topic: Set Dependencies Window

Link Code Template Libraries

To include a library of code templates on the current channel, check the check box next to the library name, then select the OK button. A confirmation dialog is shown: Because the code template library / channel links are stored outside of the actual channel itself, when closing the Set Dependencies dialog it prompts you to save those changes immediately. Select Yes to accept the changes and exit the dialog. Parent topic: Code Template Libraries
