BOM Comparison Tool Tree Section |

|
When a BOM file is loaded into the tool, the tool identifies the part name and part id of all valid records. It then displays the part names, appended with part IDs, in brackets in the form of a tree structure located on the left side of the tool window. Each tree branch is associated with a row in the BOM display table containing all standard information for the part in the tree branch.
This section also includes selection and filtering controls, to affect which parts display in the tree and which parts are selected or deselected. Filter options are given for displaying only the desired part info in the tree and the associated data in the BOM display table.
You can enter a string in the combo box, select the desired header in the options menu, and press RETURN to display the desired information in the tree and BOM display table. The combo box remembers previously entered strings until you quit the tool, and can be used to filter the BOM info anytime in the session.
In addition, there are several filter buttons which are explained below:
