KEY COMPONENT LIST (KCL) OVERVIEW
Every product in Vizula contains a Key Component List (KCL) which can be used by the Project Manager to manage a list of key components which may be critical to the ongoing and consistent supply of product once the project has moved into the sales phase. The KCL can be utilised as much or as little as is determined useful by the Project Management team.

Each item in the list contains five fields as follows:-

• GROUP - The group is defined by the library entry and defines the group the component is associated with.
• TYPE - The type is defined by the library entry and defines the type the component is associated with.
• KEY COMPONENT - This is the name of the component as defined by the library entry.
• NOTES - The notes field can be used to identify second sources, actions or mitigations related to the key component.
• QTY - The quantity is used to identify how many of the component is used in the product.

In addition to these five fields, the key component also holds a 'Priority' value and can have Hyperlink and Library icons.

Priority
The key component is assigned a 'Priority' which describes the importance / priority of the key component as follows:

The priority can be changed at any time to alter the importance of the key component.
