The process overview for creating a CB is shown below. First, create the nTop workflow as you normally would. We recommend saving this workflow before you create your CB, because once you begin to create the CB, you may be altering the workflow.
Once you have created your workflow, there are four key areas to create the CB: the notebook name, the description, the inputs section, and the output section.

​
Notebook Title and Description

The name and description of the custom block are taken directly from the notebook’s name and description. We recommend starting the name of the notebook with “CB” for custom block to clarify that this is a custom block and not a built-in block or toolkit within nTop. We also recommend writing a description to help you or your colleagues understand what the CB does.
In the next few lessons, we will show examples with the nTop file labeled “Completed Stochastic Lattice Workflow” If you want to create a CB with this file, please download the file below. Later, we will create a CB with the same file in the Follow Along: CB Stochastic Lattice lesson. To learn how this workflow was created, check out our lessons on Non-Periodic Lattices in the 210: Intro to Lattices course.
