Component library: a tour

A tour of Component library in Arkon One: Every designer component is a catalogue item, so a design always counts real, rentable stock with its weight, rate and value. and the controls you will use most.

The steps, written out

1. Open Component library from the Engineering and 3D Designer section of the left menu.
2. Read each row: Code, Catalogue item, Category, Weight, Rate / 28 d, Design key.
3. Review the Systems section.
4. Review the Spare allowance (%) section.
5. Review the Custom components section.

Tip

The design uses a part code that does not exist in the item catalogue yet, so it has no name, weight, rate or stock. Open Component library and press Add missing items: the missing parts are created in the catalogue (the page warns "N components are missing from the catalogue"). Then check their rates and stock in the catalogue. Quotes and stock checks skip items that are not in the catalogue. Component library (Engineering → Component library, for roles that can edit designs) lists every part the designer can use, with its catalogue item, category, weight, rate per 28 days and design key, plus the scaffold systems with their bay lengths, widths and maximum lift. Custom components then appear in the BOM, weight, quote and stock check like any other part, and are listed under Custom components in the library.
