  2. Type in a few letters of the IP name in the Search filter at the top of the catalog.

    IP modules matching the search string display.

  3. Select the IP to add by doing one of the following:
    • To add a single IP, you can either click the IP name, and press Enter on your keyboard, or double-click the IP name.
    • To add multiple IP to the BD, you can highlight the additional desired IP (Ctrl+ click), and press Enter.

    You can also add IP to the BD by opening the IP catalog from the Project Manager menu in the Flow Navigator. Use the Search field to find specific IP in the IP catalog window as well.

    Multiple IP can be added to the BD canvas at once by selecting multiple IP in the IP catalog and using one of the methods described above.
