Introduction
Components add categorization to your test assets, categorizing them into features, screens, teams, modules and more. Components provide an easier way of grouping your test assets. Using components, you can search Test assets, generate reports, collect statistics, e.t.c.
QMetry allows you to create customized Components at the project level. A user can assign it to a Test Case, Test Cycle and Test Plan for grouping.
Permissions Required:

Searching a Component
Consider that you need to create a custom component 'logout'. So, we will be searching for it using the below steps:
Navigate to QMetry > Configuration menu > Select Project.
Click on Component.
Click on the search icon to see the text box. Type the keyword in the text box and press ENTER on the keyboard.
It is a good practice to search for a component before creating it. It will avoid the creation of duplicate components.
Required Permission: Users should have the Configuration Modify permission to change the Sort By preference of list values.
Changing the Sequence Number
You can change the list value sequence by editing the number in the Sequence No. column.
Note: A deleted component will lose all its linkages with test assets it was previously linked with and it will also affect the reports if they were fetched based on the component filter. The Test asset's component field will appear blank once the component gets deleted and linkages can't be recovered.
Follow the steps mentioned below to delete the list value.
1. Hover over the archived value and click on the Delete icon.
The confirmation message pops up.
2. Click OK to proceed.
After deletion, the component value will be removed from the Component field of the test asset.
