refdes, device and package are required to add a part

I have a symbol that I draw and I want add it to my APD. I go to `Logic/Edit Parts List...` and this opens up a "Parts List" window with some options. I have chosen my symbol in the "Package" field and manually entered "Refdes" to some value. I am still missing "Device", which I don't know what it means. Where can I read about this? Are there tutorials available?
