There are two ways in Smart Materials Web to view BOM data on the Maintain BOM screens: the single position view and the multi position view.

Single Position View

In the single position view in Position Details, only one position is displayed at a time, and the user must click the position to see the Details. The screen for this view is hard coded in Smart Materials Web.

Multi Position View

The multi position view opens by default on the Maintain BOM screen. This multi position view is customizable.

You can define three levels in which the BOM position information appears in the multi position view, either on the project level, or on discipline level for all users logged in with this discipline, or on the user level, which allows the user to define his own individual view.

Discipline BOM Views

The prerequisites for defining discipline BOM views are as follows:

  • A View must be defined on BOM User View.

  • This View must be assigned to the user security of the current login environment on Administration > User Access for Projects.

Use the BOM User View screen to define BOM views on the discipline level. These BOM views are available for all users logged in with this discipline.

Select the View Name the first (BOM User View) grid. Then move to the second (Properties) grid. Here, you can define a set of BOM properties that the discipline users can access in the multi position view of the BOM module. To assign a property, enter a sequence number in the Seq field. This sequence number controls the display order of the property fields on the Maintain BOM screen.

Next, select a property from the list view assigned to the user security on 'User Access for Projects'. For more information about list views and property security, see Bill of Materials User View. There are two different kinds of properties: fixed hard-coded properties and variable user-definable properties. The number of displayed variable properties is restricted to a maximum of 20. For this reason, use only sequence numbers from 1 to 20 for the variable properties; otherwise, they wonā€™t appear.

To assign all properties defined by the list view to the selected discipline in one step, use the Add Properties button at the bottom of the screen and activate the check box Property.

The following image shows the multi position view as defined on the BOM USER View.

The discipline BOM views are usually defined by BOM or discipline super users/administrators.

BOM User Views

To allow each user to adjust the multi position view according to the requirements, the user can define the individual BOM view on the BOM User View screen.

The BOM user views are categorized for use on the Maintain BOM screens. Select either BOM or Site from the list in the Used For field. You can select one of the types as listed for the View Type in the drop-down list.

  • Personal - This view can only be used by the user who creates it.

  • Project Wide - All projects users in all disciplines can use this view.

  • Discipline Specific - This view can be used by all users logged in to the specified discipline.

The Copy View button can be used to copy view definitions from other projects. This button opens a box where you can use the LOV to select an existing user view to be copied from.

After selecting the view in the Copy from User View field, click the Copy button to copy the properties.

When both the discipline BOM view and BOM user view are present, the BOM user view will be prioritized and applied while opening the multi position view.
