A component is a collection of rulesets that create a small feature that can be added to any application created in the Pega Platform.
Creating a component creates a new ruleset. As a best practice, do all component-related development in this ruleset to avoid naming conflicts. After you create a component, you can package the component and import it into another system. Then, you can enable the component in other applications on the target system.
Access the Components landing page by clicking Designer Studio > Application > Components.
