Your first part

This walks through creating a single part — the smallest useful action in simple-plm.

Steps

  1. Open the Parts list. From the dashboard, click Parts in the left navigation. You’ll see every part in the current branch.

  2. Click “New part” in the top right.

    Create part dialog

  3. Fill in the form.

    • Part number — must match ^[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9-]{2,49}$. Examples: R-10K-0603, PCB-MAIN-001. The form validates inline; you can’t submit an invalid PN.
    • Description — short human-readable label.
    • Revision — free-form string. Use A if your team has no scheme yet.
    • Attributes — optional key/value pairs.

  4. Click Create. You land on the part detail page.

What just happened on disk

Behind the dashboard, a commit landed on the org’s main branch:

+ plm-data/parts/PCB-MAIN-001/part.yaml

The file is roughly the YAML shown on the Parts concept page. You can git pull the org’s workspace repo locally and see it.
