Almost every project can be broken down into smaller, logical areas. These ‘building blocks’ of a project are termed Components in Gemini.

A key feature of Components in Gemini is the ability to nest them in a hierarchical fashion. Thus you can create Components like:

To make your Components even more logical within the context of your organization, Gemini lets you rename the Component field (as it does all other fields) so you could label Component “Affected Area”, “Dept. Function” or “Market Channel” in your Project Template to match the examples listed above. And because Gemini lets you have multiple Project Templates, you could have all three variants in a single instance, one for the Software Development, one for Finance and one for Marketing – all your projects in oneplace.

To create Components, navigate to the project for which you wish to create values and select “Settings” from the project menu. You will then see the following options just below the menu bar. Click on Components.

If you change Components to something else in your Project Template, for example to “Channels” (as illustrated above) you will see your terminology in the Project Settings option.

To Add a new Component, click on the Add button and you will be prompted to provide:

• Component Name
• Description

Click Save to create the Component. When you have created your Components you can, if you wish, build a Component hierarchy. There are two ways to do this:

1. Click in the “Parent” column and select the parent Component of the Component you have created from the list of Components
2. Drag and drop your Component wherever it belongs using the “Sequence and Indent” control on the extreme right of the page.

To maintain any of the Component’s field values, click in the appropriate field and use Gemini’s inline editing to easily and instantly change the field value.

To delete a Component click on the Delete icon to the right of the screen. You will be asked to confirm the deletion. Deleting a Component removes it from the system and clears the Component value against all tasks associated with the Component.
