Components are essential building blocks that must be created and assessed prior to product evaluation, as they will be used for the finished product. To create a component, simply generate a new entity and select the "Component 3.1" category.
Components are the materials that will be used in the evaluation of finished products. They can be simple, unprocessed monomaterials, but can also take the form of multimaterials that undergo different manufacturing processes. Glimpact provides you with basic “elementary bricks”, which you can then use to compose and create complete components using the elementary bricks available in your worspace.
<aside> 👉 The creation and analysis of components and finished products follow the same logic. For the following demonstration we will take the example of a 95% cotton and 5% elastane woven fabric.

Once created, a component appears as a form. The page is divided into two zones:
The meta data: general information about your entity, such as who created it, when etc.
The activity data: specific data about your entity, used by the calculation engine to provide environmental impacts.
Some data are mandatory, others are not, and if you don’t have their information they are supplemented by default data based on the PEFCR.
The Component form is divided into 2 main parts :

In the form, some data are mandatory to assess your component’s impacts, and some optional.
The yellow exclamation mark inform you of the mandatory fields to fill in, without witch the analysis canot be completed. The item turn green when correctly filled.

<aside> ℹ️ In order to evaluate your component and get its environmental impacts, you will have to implement all the mandatory activity data, corresponding to its raw materials, processes and the potential transports between each steps.
</aside>
If one of the mandatory field is missing the “Evaluate” button won’t be accessible. Instead you’ll see the “Validation error(s)” button, as there won’t be enough activity data to evaluate your components.
You can click on the validation error button to access a list of missing mandatory activity data. Then, if you click on one of them, you will be redirected to the field.
