The sidebar is the primary area for configuring your architecture. It contains two main tabs - Properties and Resources.

Properties Tab

The Properties tab allows you to configure the selected resource, connector, or wrapper.

The properties tab appears automatically when an element is selected.

The Properties tab contains:

  • Resource Icon and Name: The icon and name of the selected resource, connector, or wrapper. The name can be renamed by double-clicking.

  • Resource Type: The type of the selected element.

  • Configuration Properties: 1-6 properties to configure the specific behavior of the selected element. These appear as input fields, dropdowns, etc.

  • Codebox: Displays the generated Terraform code for the element. This can be edited directly in the codebox.

  • Usage Information: Usage details and documentation for the given resource type.

Resources Tab

The Resources tab contains the browser for finding and adding new resources to your architecture.

It has:

  • Search Box: Search for resources by name or keyword.

  • Last Used: Shows the most recently added resource types.

  • Resource Groups: Resources are organized by theme, such as Compute, Database, Security, etc.

To add a resource, drag it from the Resources tab into the main diagram area. Then use the Properties tab to configure it and connect it to other resources.
