### Main View

The main view of the screen lists the main information for the current selection of parts or part data. This portion of the user interface remains blank until you select a category of parts or click All Parts from the side bar. It then shows a thumbnail images of each of the parts assigned to the currently selected category:

Once you double-click on a part from this list of parts, this main view changes to show tabbed windows into which you can send part data:

Example of the Main View Showing Tabbed Windows

The available tabs are shown here: (Click on the tabs in the image below to see information on each tabbed window.)

Initially, if you click on these tabs inside Datapage+, the resulting window will not contain any information. To populate these tabs with data, you first need to select (mark check boxes) for the transactions and features on the side bar and then click the Apply or Apply to All icons to get information into the current or all tabs respectively.

If you want to configure which tabbed windows are displayed and which are hidden, use the Tools | View Selection menu item from the main bar. Then mark the items you want displayed and clear the items you want hidden. See the "Main Menu Bar" topic where the View Selection dialog box is discussed.
