As a registered partner, you can submit new components directly from the Partner Library. The component submission is a clearly defined workflow process that includes metadata entry, file uploads, or category assignment. All the components submitted by Emporix partners undergo a diligent review process from the Emporix side to ensure the appropriate level of quality and security. The partners can easily track the status of the component submission, from draft, through review, to publish stages.
Prerequisites
Take into account these rules and good practices for the components submission.
Attachments validation rules
Emporix supports attachments that are compatible with the Emporix platform to allow proper rendering and functioning after installation on customers' tenants.
AI agents, value streams, or custom entities in question need to be first exported directly from the Emporix Management Dashboard using the export functionality.
The IDs of the AI agents and custom entities that you attach during component submission must start with your company name prefix, like <partner-name>-agentName.
For example, partnerrix-overstock-agent, partnerrix-contractEntity.
This convention ensures that there are no clashing IDs and the attachments are properly assigned. So, before exporting the necessary subcomponents, make sure that their IDs follow the convention pattern.
Custom entities single import
If the component you intend to submit uses a custom entity, inlude it in the attachments. If more than one custom entity is required and one references another, first export all the relevant custom entities in one go to a single JSON file and then import it as a single attachment to avoid entities duplication and IDs collission. For more information, see the Custom Entities.
Add a component
To submit a new component to the Partner Library, follow these steps.
1
Choose to add a component
In the Partner Library, go to the My Components view and choose Create a new component option.
2
Provide the component details

3
Attach the component
Choose the relevant component category:
AI Agent
Value Stream
Cloud Function
MD Extension
MD Perspective
Custom Entity (applicable if your component requires usage of a custom entity)
From your device directory, select the file containing the matching component and drag it to the upload space. The upload starts automatically.
For complex components, attach multiple files for each separate component in the package. Choose the + to add more files and associate them with relevant categories.
If you use an AI agent within a value stream, you do not need to attach the agent separately. The agent is already a part of the JSON file defining the value stream.
Supported file types:
AI agents, value streams, and custom entities - attach valid JSON files.
Cloud functions, MD extensions and MD perspectives - attach ZIP files.
