# ADDING ADMIN VIEWS TO A COMPONENT
Hi we've looked at setting up admin views. We've looked at creating fields for admin views. We've looked at setting up field types and how to use field types to create fields. Now we would like to look at setting the admin views to the component. The component itself has so much things that you can do. I'm going to try and deal with it [00:00:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m28s) little at a time. So I'm first going to look at adding the admin views to a component. We'll go to components, and will go to sermon distributor, and you would go to settings. Here you'd see admin views. [00:00:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m59s)

We'll go to components, then to sermon distributor, and then go to settings. There you will see admin views.

**Sermon Component Setting as Example**
To connect admin views to your component you need to go to settings and open this button here. Usually when you start it, it will look like this(see video). So very straight forward you have a dropdown here(select an option) and you make a selection. And then click next. And you do the next one. And if you have a lot of admin views like I do here you would type in the name of the admin view. [00:01:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m33s) And there you have it.

**Adding Views Setting Icons**
So I'm going to type in the name here sermon. Now these icons here I spoken about them previously. They are the icons from Joomla which is called Joomla Standard Icomoon Fonts. [00:02:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m02s) If you select a an icon here(Joomla), it will show you that little icon(1) but only during the selection face. That is the icon that is going to be used for the view here in the right. See this icon there(top right) as we click through [00:02:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m24s) component builder it updates that icon.

**Settings Switch Admin Menu**
This icon is what is being set here. You can select the icons to reflect to the admin view of your choice. We have a bunch of switches here and we'll look at them one at a time. Admin menu is this menu. [00:02:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m49s) So the question is do you want that view to show up next to your main view. That will be the first tick box. We would say yes.

That will be the first tick box. Then say, 'yes'.
**Settings Switch Dashboard Items**
Then do you want to have an add record icon for this view? The add record icon, if you go to the dashboard, [00:03:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m10s) it is this icon here(Add Admin View). It is a shortcut to creating an admin view from the dashboard. So we will say yes, then a dashboard list of records icon. So maybe you don't want this(Admin View) icon, just add admin view, then you can tick that(Dashboard(add record)) as no. [00:03:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39vY66X7GGU&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m35s) But again here(Dashboard(list of records)) we would like yes.
