What Is a Web Part

Using the automobile dashboard analogy, Web Parts are like the gauges and indicators on your car's dashboard. Plant Applications Web Parts provide you important summary information. Then, if you need more specific information, you can click links within the Web Part that will provide you information with greater detail. By editing a Web Part, you can create ad hoc reports.

A great way to view and use your Plant Applications Web Parts is to add them to a portal, where you can build a "dashboard" of Web Parts. Currently, we support the use of Web Parts in Windows® SharePoint™ Services and Windows® SharePoint™ Portal Server.
