# Creating Component Attributes by Tagging

You can add tags to components across the Org. The tag values will be available when the component appears in Impact Analysis results, both Ad-Hoc, and Requirements.

## **Defining a Custom Field**

[Create a custom field](/v1/docs/how-to-define-custom-fields) for the **Salesforce Component** Entity.

1. First, highlight the **General**tab under the Salesforce Component Entity in the Fields & Tabs Customization. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1640733181529.png)
2. Then, click on the **New** button and then **Field**and create the Custom field![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1640733204656.png)![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1640733212889.png)

Good to Know!These custom fields are relevant to the actual components within your Salesforce Org and are valid across your entire Panaya account.  
Therefore, the fields are not assigned per project and cannot be set as mandatory.
