App Introduction
BOM Explorer is where you can view and navigate your entire imported model in the Grid view, with detailed information for each item available from one screen.
For more information on how to switch apps, please see the Switching Between Makersite Apps article on the Makersite FAQ pages.
On the left of the page, the Grid view allows you to expand down to the lowest level of your model, through Product Groups and Processes. Each one, when selected, will open on the right hand side of the page, where a range of tabs can be viewed, showing the information contained within the Product Group or Process.
Most of the fields can be edited from the BOM Explorer, anything else can be edited on the 'Compose' page of the Product Group or Process.
Right click anywhere on the Grid view, and the top level Product Group can be exported.
