Parts

This page provides access to all parts in VIDA for the current vehicle model. The parts are cataloged and can be added to a work list or part list. Search parts by using the tree structure or the free text search functionality.

The page is divided into two main sections:

Fig. 73: The Parts page

1. Search and tree structure panel

Use the search box above the tree structure to expand a specific node by typing a function group number. You can also use the search box to search by part number or part description. If you use the search box to expand the tree structure, you do not need to click the icon. However, when searching by part number or part description, you need to click the icon, to perform a search on the entered search string.

Note

When searching for a part number, the complete number must be entered. A missing figure must otherwise be replaced by a wildcard character ( [*] ).

The information in the tree structure is structured in function groups, according to the information structure in VIDA. Find the relevant part you are looking for by digging down into the information structure by clicking.

When a part is found by search or selected in the tree structure, the navigation tree is automatically hidden and the part listing is shown. The navigation tree is opened again by pressing the [SPACE] bar on your keyboard.

2. Reference image and list of parts

Once a part is selected by search or from the tree structure, relevant parts are listed in the right-hand panel. The navigation tree is automatically hidden and replaced with a reference image of corresponding parts.

Note

You can switch between the navigation tree and the reference image by pressing the [SPACE] bar on your keyboard.

The following functions are available to control the reference image:

Function	Description
	Return to default display mode.
	Grab and move.
	Open in separate window.
	Zoom in.
	Zoom out.

Fig. 74: Reference image and list of parts

The reference image contains numbers which highlight certain components. Clicking such a number highlights the corresponding part in the list. The other way around, if you select a part in the list, the number in the reference image is highlighted.

The following functions are available above the list of parts:

Function	Description
Incl. VAT	Tick this box to include VAT for prices.
Retrieve from 'DMS'	Click this button to populate the list of parts with price information from DMS.
Expand all notes	Tick this box to expand all available notes in the part listing.
	Use these buttons to scroll. These buttons are enabled if the list of parts has more information than can be displayed on one page.

Note

The Retrieve from 'DMS' and Incl. VAT options are only available if you are using a DMS. The availability of these functions is also dependent on DMS interface version and implementation.

The list is structured in the following columns:

Column	Description
Fig.	Number that links to the part image.
Part No.	Actual part number fetched from central system.
Description	Description of the part. The description field is expandable if there is additional information.
Qty.	Quantity required as per the parts catalog.
PS	Part Status, additional information on the type of product, for example "SW" for software and "NS" for not stocked parts (screw, nuts etc.).
Price/unit	Price of the part per unit.

Note

The Price/unit field is only available if you are using a DMS. The availability of these functions is also dependent on DMS interface version and implementation.

Select items to add by using the checkboxes on the left-hand side of each row in the list of parts. From the drop-down menu below the list, you can select the list you want to add the part(s) to. Your currently active (last selected) list is selected by default but you can change to another list or to create a new one. Retrieve a quick view of a list by clicking View List. When desired list is selected, click the Add to List button to add the part(s).

If there is additional information available for chemicals and accessories, it can be accessed by clicking the corresponding icon in the list of parts.

Note

In order for users with English (US) as application language to be able to access additional information for chemicals and accessories, the Parts catalog language has to be changed to English (GB) in the drop-down menu in the top right of the page.

Language settings

In the upper right-hand side of this page, a drop-down menu containing all VIDA languages is available. Here you can change the language of the parts to another language than the VIDA application language. Changing language can e.g. be useful when communicating with a customer talking another language than the default VIDA language. Note that all application texts always follow the default application language and will not be affected by the language selected in this drop-down menu. This dynamic language change only affects the parts on this page. Previously opened tabs or any tabs that will be opened later will not be affected.

Note

Search within parts will follow the dynamic language.
