This page describes how to import component definitions in Pathfinder. Component definitions are the network cables and components.
It is recommended to first import definitions of all the required components from the online catalog for building your network.
This can be done easily using the local catalog tab from the catalog sidebar module on the left hand side of the dashboard.
To import component definitions, click the local catalog module (1) in the sidebar or press (Alt + C).
Click on the add icon and select Import from online catalog option (2) from the drop down menu.
In the import and export of component definitions window, select the category and or manufacturer to search from a list of components available in the online catalog or you can search with a specific name if the desired component name is known (3).
Select the required components (4) and add the component definitions to your local catalog by clicking Import. Repeat this process, until all needed component definitions are imported into your local catalog.
On the right you can find a preview of the currently selected component (5).
If a component is not yet available in the online catalog, you can request it from our support.
For more information about the local and online catalog, go to: Catalog.
