Create a Component

You create a component for a product, and add it to the list of components for that product. Depending on the type of component, you specify information such as the component's physical form, the route of administration, the type of sterilization, and so on.

You must have the appropriate security privileges to create a component. If you have the rights to add a product, you can add a component. Also, you cannot create a component for a product that already has a PDS template or application associated with it.

You can create components for an existing product or when you create a product.

To create a component:
  1. Navigate to the product for which you want to associate a component.
  2. While viewing the Product Attributes page, click the Components tab.
  3. Click Create.
    The Create Component page appears.
  4. Select a component type.
    The values available in the drop-down list were created by your Ennov InSight system administrator and are mapped to an entity type of pharmaceutical, medical device, pharma-med device combination, flu vaccine, or veterinary. 
  5. Enter a name for the component.
    You must enter a name, unless in the next step you select a component form when defining the component attributes. In that case, the component name defaults to the selected form, but you can change the name.
  6. Enter the additional component attribute values, as needed.
  7. Do one of the following:
    • Save, to save the component.
    • Create Another Component, to save this component and create another.
    • Save and Add Active Ingredients, to save this component and add active ingredients. This option is available for all except Flu Vaccine and Medical Device component types.
    If your component contains at least one active ingredient, you can create a reference active ingredient that is also tracked at the component level of your product.
