How do I see the names of the parts in an assembly?

I create parts and give them names. After importing them in an assembly, I don't see the names of the parts

    I se just "part 1", instead of the name I gave it. Or do I have to create a version first, and why?

    A Part Studio can contain multiple parts - you have to rename the part in the Parts List, not the name of the Part Studio.

    You can use the BOM on the right side of the screen, choose Name from the drop down list

    You can also change the name here as well.

    The Bom list is empty

    @martijn_grunwald - Now try clicking the "Add column" button at the top of the BOM list and adding the column for Name. 

    It looks like the BOM is correctly showing the quantities of the parts, but it appears empty because the parts don't have descriptions or Part numbers. If the parts have names, they'll show up when you add the Name column.

    It isn't empty, it is showing the part number and description of 7 unique parts. You have yet to fill in any information into those properties so they are still blank. What you are seeing are the default 4 columns 'item no' 'qty' 'part number' 'description'.  This will need to be changed on every assembly you want to view a BOM with
