# Manual Implementation Pane/Component Step Details Dialog Box

The Manual Implementation pane and the Component Step Details dialog box enable you to create and edit individual steps.

Option | Description
--- | ---
To access | Manual Implementation pane: In the Business Components module, select a component in the component tree. Click the Manual Implementation tab. Component Step Details dialog box: In the Business Components module, select a component in the component tree. In the Manual Implementation tab, do one of the following in the Manual Implementation pane: Right-click the step grid, or a step, and select New Step. Right-click a step and select Edit Step.
Important information | This pane or dialog box enables you to create manual steps for your component in an editable table. You can describe each step to be performed, create and insert parameters where required, and describe the expected result of the step. If you apply formatting to a parameter name in a step, you must apply the same formatting to the entire parameter name, including the `<<<` and `>>>` characters. For example, if you want to italicize the parameter `password`, you must italicize the entire string `<<<password>>>` and not just the word `password`. Specifying less than 2,500 characters in user-defined fields in this tab or dialog box can improve performance.
