The Component Type, SubType, and SubSubType picklists work as a tiered hierarchy, allowing you to categorize components in increasingly specific layers. Each level builds on the one above it:
- Type is the top-level category.
- SubType is linked to a specific Type.
- SubSubType is linked to both a specific Type and SubType.
This structure ensures accurate classification and easier component tracking.
