Many fields are already associated with all components by default. These fields can be used to identify or associate a component to a commercial product. It is also possible to define personalized catalog information fields or choose among the standard fields such as active document properties, diagram properties, and project properties that are provided by this software and associate them to the components.

The Field Configuration dialog box is used to manage user-defined fields for every component.
