Using a Scaffold
Creating a Scaffold

Scaffolds are pre-defined sets of component configurations. The individual configurations are connected by an Orchestration and Metadata. Together they form a functional reusable block solving a specific problem.

Although they are pre-defined sets of configurations, the created configurations have no special properties and can be modified like any other configuration you have created manually.
