The parts from upstream and downstream views are displayed in the same row if they are equivalent. If the equivalent part is not added to the smart collection, the corresponding row in the other section is appears blank.
If you add parts only from the upstream view, the Downstream section in the Contents tab is not displayed and vice– a–versa.
