Components

Prebuilts allow developers to accelerate execution of network automation use cases within IAP (Itential Automation Platform). More specifically, pre-builts combine the abilities of multiple components that live within IAP. As such, a pre-built can be comprised of the following component types:

Automation Catalog
Automations (Operations Manager)
Form
JSON Forms
Integrations
Integration Models
Command Template (MOP)
Analytic Template (MOP)
Service Catalog
Template
Transformation
Triggers (Operations Manager)
Workflow

Each of these components serves a specific role to help various network use cases. You can read more about each component in their respective product documentation guides on docs.itential.com.
