Add rows
You can add rows (items) to your bill of materials through:
- Typing the data
At the moment you add a type number to the bill of materials, will MatStream
search for this type number in previous bills of materials. When MatStream
compares the type numbers, it will neglect the following characters: . / \ -
- Drag or copy a product from Product Information Center
When you drag or copy a product from Product Information Center to your bill
of materials, then all product data and attached documents are linked to the
item. See Linking a row to a product
group for more information on how to link a product to a bill of
materials item.
- Copying data from other applications
When you copy data from a spreadsheet application, will MatStream try to
recognize the data entered in the type number column. If the data is
recognized as a known type number, then MatStream will link this row the
product group. All the copied data will remain as it is copied, only the
lacking data will be completed with the data of previous bills of materials.
