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. On the Bill of Materials tab, click BOM Filter .
  2. In the Filter dialog box:
    1. Click Click here to add a condition and accept the default And operator or select Or.
    2. 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 an condition expression under the current And/Or operator, click Click here to add a condition, select a column name, condition, and enter a value.
    • To add an expression with a new operator, click Click here to add a condition, select And or Or, select a column name and condition, and enter a value.
  4. Select Enable Filter.
  5. Click OK.
    To disable the filter, click BOM Filter and clear Enable Filter in the Filter dialog box.
