Bill of Materials
- Contents
Applies to Excel-based
Bills of Materials.
The Contents tab in the Bill of Materials Properties dialog
box specifies which items appear in the bill of materials, and allows
you to reverse the order of the list. The other tabs available in the
dialog box are Configuration
and Control.
The Contents tab controls the
following properties:
Select which items to include in the table. A
green check mark in the ITEM NO. column means that the item is displayed
in the table. Clear the check mark to hide the item. This has the same
effect as hiding the row in the Excel worksheet.
To move the header row to the bottom of the table,
and to list the items in order from bottom to top, clear the Display
labels at top check box.
-
To sort the items alphanumerically by a column (for example, to
sort by part number), hold down the Ctrl
key, and click the box at the top of the column. The item numbers are
re-assigned so that the first line is still Item
1, and the remaining item numbers are in order.
NOTE: If
you do not
hold down the Ctrl
key, the item number for each line stays with the original item,
resulting in a list with item numbers out of order.
