You can enter parts using the Standard View or Template View. Throughout this guide if instructions refer to simply the Project Manager, the Standard View should be assumed as the default.
Standard View: In this view you may enter parts into the project by selecting parts one by one from the part list, entering a quantity, and hitting the Add Part button. In the main window of this screen you can see all of the project part contents. This view also allows the user to switch between two different modes: Details Mode and Summary Mode. Details Mode displays all of the parts and quantities individually, while Summary Mode condenses the information by category. Summary Mode also incorporates all of the part data from accepted alternates, while Details Mode does not.
Template View: In this view you may simultaneously add specific arrangements of multiple parts into the project. This is accomplished by using "templates" that have been defined in the Templates Tool. The user must select a template, enter a template quantity, and then click Calculate Quantities. You may alter the calculated quantities within the window, or select the Add button to add the parts to the project. Parts may be added into the project main window, as an alternate, or as a component.
