This section allows you to add custom components to the document.

Sliders;
Drop-Down menu.
❗TIP: Customize the name of a component
Once the element added, customize its name by clicking on the alphanumeric zone. This will be especially useful when creating a report or formula.
Data
This section allows you to add any software data to your document, even those you have created!
Data will be recorded directly in the client's file when the document has been completed.
Modules
This section contains drawing boards, as well as a series of physical test protocols that are already built into the software.
💡 TIP: The fields in dark gray are those which will be calculated automatically according to the results entered or which will be inserted when filling out the document using the customer's information.
