Creating Business Components

You use the New Business Component Wizard to create Business Component objects. You may need to create new business components when existing business components are not a good functional or technical fit to your business requirements. For example, suppose you need to define scripting logic that is different from any similar, out-of-the-box business components or suppose you want to predefault record values to a different type in order to differentiate records from other records in the same table. In both cases, you would create a new business component.

For more information on reusing existing objects and creating new objects, see About Object Reuse.

To open the Business Component wizard

1. Choose File > New Objects.
2. Select the BusComp icon, and click OK.

   The New Business Component dialog box appears as shown in the following figure.
3. Select a Project and the master Business Component and click Next.

   The Single Value Fields dialog box appears.
4. Select a column in the Base table and enter a name for the field.
5. Click Add and then click Finish.

   When you click Finish, you are taken to the business component you just created in the Object List Editor, where you can further configure the new Business Component object.
