### How it works

Violet utilizes both Onshape webhooks and our internal schedule-based ingestion engine to intelligently fetch and structure Onshape part and BOM data as well as 3D models and 2D drawings or other files.

Parts are selectable by Onshape folders, and must have an assigned Part Number to be ingested into Violet. Monitor the ingestion of your data in the [Integrations Dashboard](/integrations/integrations-dashboard.md) and consume it in [Reports](/features/reports.md), [Scripts](/getting-started/platform-overview/scripts.md) or [Requirements](/getting-started/platform-overview/requirements.md).

Onshape data can also be synced to downstream tools such as [ION](/apps/i/ion.md), [Boltline](/apps/b/boltline.md), [NetSuite](/apps/n/netsuite.md)or [Odoo (Coming Soon)](/apps/o/odoo-coming-soon.md).
