Filtering Named BOMs

You can filter named BOMs so that only rows that match an expression appear.

The filter operates on the top level of the BOM only. It does not find values in indented (child) rows. The filter affects the BOM display but does not modify BOM data.

To filter a named BOM:

  1. In the Commands section of the Bill of Materials tab, click Filter .
  2. In the Filter dialog box:
    1. Accept the default And operator or select Click here to add a condition and select Or.
    2. Select Click here to add a condition again and select a column name from the list.
    3. Under Condition, click Text Contains and select a text or numeric condition from the list.
    4. Under Value, type text or a number depending on the condition type.
    You can remove a condition by selecting Remove in the list under Column.
  3. To add condition expressions:
    • To add a condition expression under the current And/Or operator, select Click here to add a condition, select a column name and condition, and enter a value.
    • To add an expression with a new operator, select Click here to add a condition and select And or Or. Select Click here to add a condition again and select a column name and condition, and enter a value.
  4. Select Enable Filter.
  5. Click OK.
    To disable the filter, click Filter BOM_UI_clear_filter and clear Enable Filter in the Filter dialog box.
