Adding an Additional Component to an Existing Term 
You can use the Other Components function to assign further components to the original component of a terminology concept. The purpose of this function is to reduce the number of duplicate entries in the database, where identical terms have been entered multiple times for different components.
Prerequisites
Note that a terminology concept in any component is automatically "valid" for other components unless indicated otherwise.
Only use this function to underline a given additional validity in cases where it might be unclear, in order to avoid duplication of terminology concepts.
Do not enter other components needlessly, and never enter all the available components.
Procedure
On the Maintain Entry screen, select
(Other Components).The Further Components dialog box appears.
Enter the component key in the Further Components field.
NoteYou can use F4 Help on this field to help you choose the component you require.
End of the note.Choose
(Save) to add the component to the Further Components list in this dialog box.To remove the component from this list, choose
(Delete) to the left of the component key.Choose
(Continue) to save your entries and exit the dialog box.
Result
The system now displays the (Additional Components) icon for this term in the results
list. When you select this icon, the system displays a dialog box containing all of the components that are assigned to this terminology concept.
If you specify a particular component in Selection Criteria in order to restrict your search, the system will display the following:
Terms that are assigned to this component as the primary component
Terms that have a different component as their primary component, but where this component has been assigned as an additional component.
NoteA terminology entry will always have a primary component assignment. This determines the unique terminology concept that is used to create hypertext links to any glossary entry created for the term.
