OpenBOM catalogs is a distributed database of all items in OpenBOM. When you use OpenBOM, all data is defined in the catalog first. Catalogs help to organize your data, to have your item classification, and to store different attributes with each item depends on its type. Think about Mechanical Items, Electrical, Fasteners, PCBs, Finished Products,…
The data table is a foundation of OpenBOM data management. Different data types are managed using the tables such as the bill of materials, items (catalogs), and others. Each table consists of elements (properties). The user-defined view is a mechanism that allows you to apply a lens to show a subset of objects and their…
Formulas in OpenBOM are equations you create in a cell which performs simple arithmetic operations using the designated cells. The basic principle to understand is that a formula equation is in the usage of properties as parameters for the formula. The formula is always defined in the context of a specific line (Item). So if…
The user-defined view is a powerful mechanism that allows you to provide a custom way to present data. You can think about “raw data” in the way it placed in a BOM and then applying view (eg. Engineering, Manufacturing, Supplier, etc.) A View can be thought of as a lense which the BOM is viewed…
