Bill of Materials
The Bill of Materials wizard takes a top-down view of component relationships. You ask a question about a superior component, and it tells you about subordinate components.
In other words, it tells you what components are contained in a component that you want to change.
Running Bill of Materials
There are three pages in the Bill of Materials wizard. You can go back and forth between the pages using the Next and Back buttons. The Back button is the back arrow button at the upper left corner of the window.
Right click on a ChangeMan instance and choose Bill of Maaterials. You can also right click on an application, a library type, or a component, and the wizard form will be automatically filled in based on the item you selected.
