To change the look of your BOM you can modify these items:
BOM title
Column width and justification
for each field
Before you perform this procedure, ensure you create all the required component groups and assign the required fields to each group.
1. Click the Layout dialog.
2. Check the BOM Title field. The default title is Bill of Material.
3. To change this title, select and delete the current text, then replace with the desired name.
You must assign column widths for all of the Field items assigned to each group. Column width values are expressed as a percentage of the total width available.
1. To modify the column widths, place the cursor in between two of the fields. When the double arrow cursor appears, you are able to either shrink or expand the width of the field, which automatically adjusts the other field widths.
2. The percentages associated with each field are how much of the page each field takes up. When adjusting the field widths, keep in mind that the maximum total of all fields is 100%.
3. Column text wraps automatically.
To modify column justification…
1. Right click on the field you want to change. Select Justification from the menu, and then choose how you would like the field to appear in the BOM.
2. Repeat steps for each field in the group.
3. Ensure you assign column and justification values for all groups in the BOM.
4. For information on changing overall BOM width, see Changing BOM Size and Spacing.
