Sections let you organize your BOM into logical groups — by phase, floor, scope, or any structure that matches your project — making it easier to manage products and compile clean submittals and quotes.
| 1.Create Your BOM |
You can begin your BOM in two ways:
Manual Entry — enter products line by line directly into the BOM.
Import Products — upload an existing file (e.g. a schedule, quote, or fixture list).
All products will initially land in a default section called New Section.
| 2.Rename and Create Sections |
Double-click on New Section to rename it — type the desired name and press Enter.
To add another section, click the Create Section icon.
A new section labeled New Section will appear beneath the existing one — double-click to rename it.
Tip: Use meaningful names like "Fixtures", "Lighting Controls", or "Phase 1" so your team can navigate the BOM at a glance. |
| 3. Move Lines Between Sections |
You have two ways to move products:
A. Using Checkboxes
Select the checkbox(es) next to the products you want to move.
Click the Change Section icon.
Select the destination section and click Move.
B. Drag and Drop
Hover over the drag handle next to the line item.
Drag the product into the desired section.
Tip: Use checkboxes when moving multiple products at once — it's faster than dragging items one by one. |
| 4. Reorder Sections |
Hover over the drag handle next to the section name.
Drag and drop the section into your preferred order.
