# Creating new CAPS2025 Components

To create a Component:

- Go to the **Components** Main Screen.
- Click **+**to create a new Component.

- Enter the required data in the popup window. Note that yellow fields are mandatory.

- Click **Save** when done.

The new Component will be created, and you will be redirected to the [Component Details Page](/v414/docs/caps2025-components-details-pages) that was just created.

Component pop-up fields:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Company name (mandatory) | Lets user assign a Component to a predefined Company. |
| Component groups (mandatory) | Lets user assign a Component to a Group defined in Settings . |
| Short Name Characters 1-5 (mandatory) | Short Name for the Component. To learn more about constructing Short Names, see: [CAPS2025 Short Names](/v414/docs/caps2025-short-names). |
| Type (mandatory) | Lets user assign a Type defined in Settings to a Component. |
| Description table code (mandatory) | Descriptive name for the Component. |
| Show type (mandatory) | Lets user assign a Show type defined in Settings to a Component. |
| Socket weld (mandatory) | Lets user set Socket weld flag to a Component. |

Notes:

A Component is defined by a MESC code. The MESC code can be described with a Short Name (using an Application Code and a Material code). In addition to the Short Name two other properties are required to compose Piping classes. These properties are:

- Type: Data field to define the rating and/or the wall thickness(es) of a Component
- Show type: Data field to define the size(s) and/or the length of a Component

The property Group has been added to be used as a filter to select a group of Components. The table below shows the relation between the properties:

| **Group** |  | **Type** |  |  | **Show Type** |  |
