Views are used to display material information about a product in a defined manner. Information is displayed in sections, such as fabric or trim, and these sections in turn combine to represent an entire product. Different users can select different views, and can specify a subset of variations to control the amount of data displayed.

The advanced view is accessed from the Actions menu on the main BOM information page. It is used to view any combination of variations on the BOM. This allows users to view multiple variations simultaneously, even though the BOM may be checked out for editing by another user.

The update function is accessed from the main BOM information page by clicking Update. It is used to add or update materials on the BOM. Changes can be made to any variation, or combination of variations.

The export BOM function is accessed from the main BOM information page using the PDF, Excel, or CSV icons. It is used to export data to a file for printing.
