The section at the top of the report is taken from the Design Properties Command, which you
can find on the Design Menu, and modify accordingly.
The Edit Design Properties dialogue form
If your Active Variant is not the base design then the Assembly Variant will also
be included in the header block:
Bill of Materials categories control the grouping of parts in the report and work by comparing the
reference prefix of the components. For example, all resistors have a prefix of ‘R’, capacitors a
prefix of ‘C’ and IC’s a prefix of ‘U’. Similarly, Bill of Materials Fields control the content of the
report with each field contributing a column.
Both fields and categories can be created, edited or deleted directly from the left hand control
panel on the BOM report.
