How to create a package from the Liquit Setup Store

1. In the Resources pane, select a package and then click Create package in the table toolbar or double-click on a resource.
2. In the Create package dialog box that opens, in Overview:

• Enter a name for your new package or keep the default name.
• Select whether or not you want the new package to be managed or not. For more details, see Connectors.
• Select the stage to which you want to publish the new package. For more details, see Packages.
• Select Update existing packages if you want to overwrite the existing package. If a package already exists and this option is not selected, it will trigger an error as it cannot create a duplicate.
• Select Ignore missing dependencies (not operational for the moment) if you do not want to create managed packages for connected dependencies.

3. In Setup details, you can access links to the release notes and product description on the developer's official website, links to Liquit knowledge base articles, VirusTotal and CVE reports in case any vulnerabilities and exposures exist for this resource.
4. In Customize, you can access the customization wizard that helps you browse through additional settings offered by the developer to choose the ones that suit your needs.
5. In Entitlements, add the identity (contexts, device collections, devices, groups, users and user collections) to which you wish to publish the newly created package.
6. In Summary, leave the Modify package after creation selected if you want to open the newly created package.
