Product attributes
The manufacturer's own data for the part: what it is, what it does and where the datasheet is.
The part details dialog opens on this tab.
What it holds
The technical description of the part as the manufacturer publishes it: the detailed description, package and specifications, along with the datasheet.
Where a value is long, it scrolls in place rather than pushing the rest of the tab down.
The datasheet
Where a datasheet is held, it appears as a PDF you can open and read inside Partix without downloading it or leaving the dialog.
Parts with no datasheet on record show as not available. That is common for mechanical parts and for anything made in house.
Copying values
Several fields have a copy action beside them. It puts the value on your clipboard, which saves retyping a long part number or description into a supplier's site or an email.
What this tab is not
Product attributes describe the part as a product in the world, not your relationship with it. Those live elsewhere:
| Question | Tab |
|---|---|
| How many do I hold? | Location |
| What did I pay? | Purchases |
| What does it cost me? | Costing |
| How does Partix treat it? | Settings |
If a value here is wrong, it is a data problem with the part record rather than a stock problem, and correcting it does not affect any quantity.
