The Type field for a delivery component controls what aspect of delivery is represented by the component. Each different type has an additional Type field in the Component Edit Window to further specify what it represents.
Once you have added the components to a learner’s Components tab, you can go to the Learner Component Summary and create the corresponding records for the learner. The table below explains each type, how it can be further specified, and the areas of PICSWeb that will be affected.
