# Select Databases Page (New Availability Group Wizard-Add Database Wizard)
  This help topic describes the options of the **Specify Databases** page. This topic applies to the [!INCLUDE[ssAoNewAgWiz](../../../includes/ssaonewagwiz-md.md)] and [!INCLUDE[ssAoAddDbWiz](../../../includes/ssaoadddbwiz-md.md)] of [!INCLUDE[ssCurrent](../../../includes/sscurrent-md.md)].  
  
##  <a name="PageOptions"></a> Select Databases Options  
 The **User databases on this instance of SQL Server** grid lists every local user database. The columns are as follows:  
  
 **Name**  
 Displays the name of a local user database.  
  
 **Size**  
 Displays the database size, if the size is available to the wizard.  
  
 **Status**  
 Displays a hyperlink whose text that indicates whether a given database meets the prerequisites for being added to an availability group. If the status is "**Meets prerequisites**" you can add the database to the availability group. If a database does not meet all of the prerequisites, the **Status** hyperlink provides a brief explanation of why the database is ineligible. For more information, click the hyperlink.  
  
 You can leave the wizard on the **Select Database** page while you take action on a database to meet a prerequisite. When you return to the **Select Databases** page, click **Refresh** to update the grid.  
  
 **Refresh**  
 Click to refresh the grid. This is useful after you take action on a database to meet a prerequisite.
