Component Categories
The Component Categories configuration page allows you to create and edit component categories in Virtual Ops. Categories help organize ingredient components when they display on a quote and can affect how ingredients appear on supplement facts.
Navigation
Go to Administration > Configuration > Component Categories.
Overview
The system includes several commonly used default categories during initial setup to meet the needs of most clients. This function is primarily used for ingredient components.
Component categories help categorize ingredient components when they are displayed on a quote.
When a component category has the Active column set to Yes, ingredients in that category are treated as active ingredients. Active ingredients display in the top portion of the supplement facts panel with amounts and daily allowance. Non-active ingredients are listed textually in the lower Other Ingredients section.
Using the Component Categories Grid
The Component Categories page displays a grid of all component categories currently created in your system. Entries can be sorted by clicking column titles, using the search function, or filtering by additional options.
