Column Description
Level The number in the first column indicates the level of the item. All Level 1 items are top-level; all Level 2 items are subitems of the Level 1 item immediately above it.
Ref Des The Reference Designator ID is used on Printed Circuit Cards to indicate the location an electronic component is to be inserted. Reference Designators are usually values like R1, R2, R7, C1, or C5 (R for resistor and C for capacitor).

The BOM can show Reference Designators as a single value (for example, R3), a comma-separated sequence of values (for example, R2, R3, R4), a range of values (for example, R3-R6), or a mix of all three types.

The page displays the Reference Designator value as it was entered when the BOM was created. You can use the format of Reference Designators to collapse or expand the BOM display.

Component Location Similar to Reference Designator, but is used to give additional location information and/or can be used by industries other than electronics. For example, it can be used to indicate which motor is failing all the time, the one by the window or the one by the furnace.
Active Change An icon is included next to any part, drawing print, CAD model, or CAD drawing that has an active change object connected.
