Can't assign component to project and am not seeing components for every issue type.

Question

My team is currently in the midst of managing multiple projects. Each team member can have one or more projects. Instead of creating multiple projects, I figured we could manage multiple projects under one project in JIRA and use component feature to manage the number of projects. unfortunately,  I am not able to add component to every issue type (tried everything about configuring schemes, fields etc. I need to be able to add component field to every issue type so that we can manage the projects/components better. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you Sreenivasaraju. In terms of linking to projects, I am not able to link any of the scheme to any projects. It tells me that no project exists to link. Is this because I am in trial period of testing out JIRA and not a full license?

Also, on field configuration, I believe Component is not hidden because I do see it associated with certain issue types but I don't see it on every issue type.

Components field is added on the screen.
