### 3.15.2. Creating new component names

For information on creating new component names by reassigning old component names (in the Component Names View for example, see the section on reassigning component names (Section 3.15.3, “Entering and reassigning component names in the Component Names View”).

You can create new component names in the Component Names Browser and in the Object Mapping Editor (tree view) via the context menu:

New Component Name

| You can also use the toolbar button to create a new component name when you are in the Object Mapping Editor.

A dialog will appear to allow you to enter a component name. We recommend having good naming conventions for component names, as this will help you when mapping later.

The component name you enter will be created and will appear in the unassigned component names category in the Object Mapping Editor and in the unused component names category in the Component Names Browser.

| Newly created component names have the type graphics component until they are made more specific, either by mapping them to a technical name or by entering this new name in the Component Names View for a more concrete component type.
