Placeholder thread.

I am trying to setup a similar userModule and ran through the example here
https://help.infiniteautomation.com/getting-started-with-a-user-module/
but I don't get a UserComponents dropdown in my designer

Are there any errors in your browsers console ?

When in the dashboard designer page right click on click inspect. This will open your browser debug tools. Look for the console tab to see if there are any errors.

This most obvious thing I need to ask is, do you have components/directives defined in your user module? I seem to remember there was a bug around this that I fixed, so it may not be working in the currently released version. You can still manually add them to the page by name.

I trust that you've added the userModule in the UI Settings otherwise the component won't show.
2) once under page editor you can add them by typing them in.
In this case:

<my-component name="'Foxtrot'"></mycomponent>

I believe you can also drag and drop them in the dashboard editor from the user components drop down.

If by manually you mean with your own dashboard page templates you'll need to move away from using the public file store and break everything out into files. If you've looked at the dialogue component I wrote that you commented on you'll see how it's all laid out.

By adding this to your user module code as per the example.
userModule.component('myComponent', {options...});

Then enter the component name e.g. myComponent or my-component

I added the component with the + and now User Components is visible and i can drag them from the menu
