Where can I find the functionality that was once available in SW07 (and previous) known as "BOM Content"? This was the Dialogue interface that allowed users to move BOM Rows up / down, to hide BOM Rows and see which BOM Items had Balloons associated with them. I can't seem to find anything like that in SW08, and the Help was not any help at all...

Thanks in advance!

I didn't look real close but I didn't see anything in Kirk's link about seeing ballon status, etc. When you select your BOM table in the drawing look closly at the left table border. It is slightly wider than most others and contains 3 arrow heads pointing to the left. Click on this bar and it will expand and show ballon status and item type. It took me a while to find this at first. Hope this helps.

Mark,
I don't know if this proper etiquette but I did a post on my blog on Friday and today with another yet to come later this week all about the changes to BOMs.
