Tabs for Components

If there is no End Item present in the mBOM tree the right side of the screen does not show any modules.

The user will be allowed to Load an Existing or a new End Item. The user must follow the rules given under "Adding Components" while loading an existing/new End Item.

 

After End Items are loaded onto the mBOM tree, by default the first End Item is selected when the user clicks on the "mBOM" tab. The following modules appear on the right side of the screen for every End Item selected. These modules also appear for the following components under an End Item: Manufactured Item & Feature.
