I am a new user to TMS (new as in I haven't even been trained yet!) but we have decided not to use components to track frames. We will be creating a separate record for them -- I think I am the person Amber Morgan is referring to - I just asked a similar question on RCAAM. We'll be figuring out our system in the next month or two if you want to email me directly at that time.

Components seems the likely place....does anyone create separate records for frames? Thanks cathryn
