## About Transactions

Transactions represent additions to the database for a particular part. These additions can come from either a dump file (.dmp) that is imported from another database, or they can come from your measurement software as it sends statistical data to the database during part program execution.

Once you double-click on a part to access it, Datapage+ displays the transactions in the Transactions list in the side bar underneath the Feature or Feature Variable lists.

Transactions list displayed in side bar | The Transactions list contains the date of the transaction and any trace field information listed in columns to the right. It looks something like this: A sample expanded Transactions list showing date and time and additional trace field data (operator names and so forth) for each transaction

1. Select All. This icon selects all the transactions in the list.

2. X of Y. This text shows the number of transactions selected (X) out of the total number (Y).

3. Transaction Title Configuration. This displays the Transaction Title Configuration dialog box. You can select the desired fields to display in the Transactions list by moving them from the All fields list and moving them to the Selected fields list.

4. Transaction Date/Time. Notice that the date/time field is listed as a series of double-digit numbers with this format:

YYYY/MM/DD-HH:mm:SS

Where YY=Year, MM=Month, DD=Day, HH=Hour, mm-Minutes, and SS=Seconds

5. Trace Field Data. These columns, to the right of the date/time, contain trace field data for the part.

Transactions imported from an XML file that contain a Lot number and Lot index trace fields display those traces like this:

A - Lot number, B - Lot index

Note: You may need to expand the side bar to the right to see all the data provided in the Transactions list.
