	In the page header you can find the language selection and functions to login to the portal. Furthermore an envelope icon containing the amount of new messages is visible. When clicking on the icon the Inbox is directly opened.
	Textual search (see Section 5.8.3.1, “How can I search for specific terms?”)
	More search options (besides the textual search) Variables: See Section 5.8.3.2, “How can I search for specific variables?”. Geometric 3D: See Section 5.8.3.3, “How can the geometric search be carried out (based on an uploaded own part) ?”. Sketch 2D: See Section 5.8.3.5, “How can I search for parts by a self drawn sketch?”.
	All catalogs
	Filter with classifications: See Section 5.8.2, “Catalog display: Which filter possibilities are available?”. Depending on the available width displayed either with single buttons or as list field.
	Selection of product groups until a concrete assembly or part is specified. See Section 5.8, “ Part selection ”. On all directory levels the TagCloud displays. It shows most frequently used terms of selected product or directory. When clicking on a term a search is directly performed with respective term and the results are listed. The font size corresponds to frequency of terms. TagCloud
	See below.
	See below.

User interface once having specified a certain part

	Textual search (see Section 5.8.3.1, “How can I search for specific terms?”)
	More search options (beside the textual search) Variables: See Section 5.8.3.2, “How can I search for specific variables?”. Geometric 3D: See Section 5.8.3.3, “How can the geometric search be carried out (based on an uploaded own part) ?”. Sketch 2D: See Section 5.8.3.5, “How can I search for parts by a self drawn sketch?”.
	Filter with classifications: See Section 5.8.2, “Catalog display: Which filter possibilities are available?”.
	Navigation path: When searching the product groups, the navigation path is always displayed. When clicking on a single link you can change the level. See Section 5.8.4, “How do I recognize my position in directory levels and how can I switch to another?”. Catalog language: Catalog language and GUI language may be set differently. Catalog seal (if available): When clicking the seal respective information is displayed. Also see Section 5.8.2.5, “ Certified catalogs”.
	Table: Once a part is specified, the table is displayed. See Section 5.8.5, “How can I define the characteristic of the part?”.
	Voransicht CAD MODELL: 3D view: Also see Section 5.9.1, “How can I get a 3D preview of the selected CAD model?”. Dimension: Also see Section 5.9.2, “How can I get dimension diagrams (technical views) of the chosen CAD model?”. 2D derivations: Also see Section 5.9.3, “How can I create a 2D derivation?”.
	Generation: Generate CAD MODEL Generate PDF datasheet Before files can be generated under Formats, the desired ones have to be specified.
	Request for quotation: Send request to catalog supplier concerning currently selected part. For details see Section 5.13.2, “How can I request costs and delivery date at supplier? ”.
	Generated parts available for download. See Section 5.12, “How can I import the selected CAD model into the CAD system?”.
	Tabs at the end of page (depending on portal) Recommendations: Listing of parts which other users called besides the currently selected. Embed Part: Embedding of part into your own website. Zubehör Empfehlungen: Listing of parts which catalog supplier specified as related equipment. Map Of Offices: Mouseover displays addresses of branches. Similar parts: Find similar parts to selected catalog part. See Section 5.8.3.4, “How the geometric search can be carried out based on a catalog part?”. Similar catalogs: Find similar catalogs to selected catalog. Additionally you can filter for categories.
