  4. WebMyComponent in the System web.

The WEBCOMPONENT tag will retrieve the component where it was found first. Thereby the component can be customize for each web separately if required. If it is not defined locally a predefined component will be returned. Components can be predefined in the Main and the System where the name of the component is prefix with "Site" to distinguish them from the local web components that may already be present in the Main and the System. As a last resort the local components of the System are used.

By default the NatSkin comes with predefined components
