### About Parts

Your DataPage+ database is built around part data. You can't do anything in DataPage+ without first sending statistical data to the defined database. Until you do so, the database remains empty. Once DataPage+ contains part data, that part becomes visible for selection in the main view when you select All Parts from the side bar.

By default, the parts listed in the main view will show thumbnail images (if available) and names. You can right-click and use the Show menu to change the level of part information displayed. See the "Main View (Parts List) Shortcut Menu" topic.

Once a part is in the main view, you can then double-click on the part to access available features and transactions from which you can create your report.
