Layout Dialog

Use this dialog to perform most of the critical tasks in creating a BOM template., such as:

§ Organizing components into table groupings

§ Determining the order of tables in the BOM

§ Defining table column contents (fields)

§ Defining column order in the tables

§ Determining table width and column justification

§ Assigning a BOM name

Click the Layout dialog in the BOM Setting Manager dialog box.

In this field	Enter/do this…
BOM Title	Type a new title to appear at the top of the BOM
Group Display Order list	This list displays all groups in the BOM. The order that groups appear here is the order they will appear, as tables, in the BOM. To change the order position of a list item, click it, then drag and drop it in the location you want.
Component Types	This is a list of all component types in the database. Use this list to assign component types to a component group. To assign a component type to a component group, click the group name. The component type list becomes active. Click the component types you want to include in the group. Note: All selected items remain highlighted. To deselect an item, click it again.
Width	Select an item in the Field Display Order list, and then enter a value here. This value determines the width of the field column in the BOM. Widths are expressed as a percentage of the total width of the BOM. Therefore, a value of 25 means the column will take up 25% percent of the BOM width.
Justification	Select an item in the Field Display Order list, and then click one of the radio buttons. If you click Left, column text for the selected item will be left aligned. If you click Center, the column text for the selected item will be centred in the column.
