Typing on the design workspace to add the second Route component

Last updated: 5/18/2026

About this task

The second component of our Route will be added by typing its name directly on the workspace, instead of dropping it from the Palette.

Prerequisite: Make sure you have selected the Enable Component Creation Assistant check box in the Talend Studio preferences. For more information, see Using centralized metadata in a Job.

To add a component directly on the workspace, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Click where you want to add the component on the design workspace, and type your keywords, which can be the full or partial name of the component, or a phrase describing its functionality if you don't know its name. In our example, start typing cset.
    Information noteNote: Components may not always have a prefix letter in the name. Therefore, as a best practice, you may want to simply specify the main body when searching for a component by its name.
    A list box appears below the text field displaying all the matching components in alphabetical order.
    Design workspace.
  2. Double-click the desired component to add it on the workspace, cSetBody in our example.
