Item Panel Support For Multiple Catalogs

A new feature of Item Master panel is to support multiple catalogs. In the previous release, we introduced Item Master panel – a very easy way to create new items in the catalog directly from BOM. However, if you work with multiple catalogs, you can now select what catalog to use for a new item master. 

Check out this screenshot.

Check this short video with the demo. 

Conclusion.

Item Master Panel is slowly becoming a place where you can control data about items from catalogs seamlessly without leaving the Bill of Material. Seamless user workflows are a foundation of simplicity. At OpenBOM, we are looking how to provide the easiest and simple solution. New Item Master is one of these workflows.
