The Web Component Framework editor in vFoglight is the tool used to configure this
component, which is accessed starting from the left navigation panel by choosing
Dashboards > Configuration > Definitions, and then My Definitions in the Module
List pane.
These choices cause the Module Contents pane, which is below the Module List Pane,
