A 
Component encapulates a piece of functionality and can be anything from a collection of Fields to an entire sub-application. Components can be re-used in any number of 
Forms.
A Component can be created by right-clicking on the Entities tree and selecting New > Component and then choosing:
Part Page Component a collection of 
Fields, 
Tables, 
Controls, 
Resources and 
Scripts, to be included in a 
Page.
Multi Page Component a collection of Pages to be included in a Form.
Fields & Tables Component a collection of Fields and/or Tables to be included in a Form.
Every time you insert a Component into a Form or Page, you must provide a prefix. This is the Component's unique reference within the Form and differentiates it from any other inserted Components.
There are two ways to add a Component to a form:
- linked the Component is designed and maintained centrally then changes are redeployed to Forms.
- embedded the Component is copied into and becomes part of the Form.
