The Component Window can be accessed through the Projects and Specifications Window or by clicking the Add 
or Edit 
buttons on the Item Window – Item Tab. This window is divided into six tabs for entering and displaying Component information: Component, Special Instructions, Order Status, More Charges, Tasks, and Picture.
Components are the constituent pieces that comprise an Item. For example, if the Item is a sofa, then the first Component might be the frame, and the second Component might be the fabric. You may order the frame from one Vendor and the fabric from another Vendor. An Item may have many Components from many different Vendors.
