Turning features on and off (components)

Components are GSA’s optional features, each carrying an on/off flag. Switching one on or off for a client is a setting, not a code change — so a tenancy gets the feature set it needs without a separate build.

This guide covers:

  • Turning an optional feature on or off per client through its component flag
  • Drawing on features built for one client as capability the next can switch on
  • Relying on the platform to log and carry on if one optional feature fails to load
  • Recognising that a bespoke per-client data import is the pattern reused, not always the exact build
  • Leaving framework and kernel components in place, since neither is client-specific

Use these flags and the same platform serves many clients, each with its own look, rules and features.
