Creating new components

Now that our new project in in place, we need to go ahead and create a few components. These components will serve as groupings for our tasks. We need to perform the following steps to create our new components:

  1. Click on the Project settings option in the bottom-left corner
  2. From the Project Administration interface, select the Components tab
  3. Enter Employee Onboarding for the new component's name
  4. Provide a short description for the new component
  5. Select a user to be the lead of the component
  6. Click on Add to create the new component
  7. Add a few more components

With projects created as the Business project type, components are not displayed by default, so we will have to manually add the Components field to the appropriate screens. We will cover fields and screens in Chapter 5Field Management, and Chapter 6Screen Management, respectively. For now, you need to perform the following steps to get our components to display when we create, edit, and view tasks:

  1. From the Project Administration interface, select the Screens tab. There should be three screens, as shown in the following screenshot:
  1. Click on HR: Task Management Create Issue Screen. This will open the Configure Screen page, with a list of fields that are currently on the selected screen.
  2. Enter and select Component/s in the select field in the bottom of the page; this will add the Components field to the screen.
  3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for HR: Task Management Edit/View Screen.
