Navigating the BOM interface in Upchain

Let’s explore the BOM management interface. We’ll review the different filters available to view the items in your bill of materials, and configure the columns to suit your preferences.

BOM management interface

Using different BOM filters will help you reach the most valuable information quickly. Let’s navigate through the BOM management interface and the available filters.

Key takeaways

1. The BOM management interface is broken into two main sections: the navigation tree and the center view.
2. The navigation tree displays a high-level view of items in your project and can be filtered to display different end item versions.
3. Selecting an item in the navigation tree will display more information in the center view. 
4. The center view can be configured and filtered to show a range of information on the latest item version as well as earlier revisions.

Creating custom eBOM views

Let’s create a brand new view in the BOM interface. Custom views make it easy to see the data that is most relevant to you.

Key takeaways

1. Columns in the center view can be hidden or revealed to organize the information displayed. They can then be dragged into any desired position.
2. New views can be saved and alternated via the buttons at the bottom of the screen. These are available across projects and can be propagated to all users by a tenant administrator.
3. Existing views can be modified and saved by clicking the dropdown next to a column and selecting ‘Save table preferences’.
