Grouping Rows in a Bill of Materials

You can group rows in a BOM table based on a selected Custom Property.

  1. Add a column to the BOM
  2. Select the column and set the Column Type property to Custom Property
  3. Set the Column Value property to be the Property that you want to group
  4. Set the Group Using property to be the Property that you want to group
  5. You can control the row numbering for the grouped rows using the Start groups from property
    • Number items sequentially
    • 102, 102, ...
    • 1001, 1002, ...
    • 10001, 10002, ...

Notes on row grouping:

  • Top Level and Parts Only BOM's only (not Indented)
  • Only one grouping is allowed per BOM
  • Sorted by Custom Property Values in alphabetical order (inside groups, normal sorting order applies)

Example:

BOM with "Part Type" custom property column added
Group Using property set to "Part Type" and default row numbering
Start groups from property set to Number rows sequentially
