SAM V2:Components

If an order requires alternate media production, you can track the individual production pieces using components. For example, you could break production of the book into 3 components: chapters 1 – 5, chapters 6 – 10, and chapters 11 – 15. Each component could be assigned to a different individual so that production could occur in parallel. The components table, therefore, is a child table to orders.

Components assigned to a user that are not completed appear on the Dashboard under My Pending Production Components. This serves as a visual reminder of work that need to be performed by the user.
