Analysis and Reporting

If you are viewing an assembly or product structure in MI Materials Gateway for Creo, NX, Teamcenter, or Windchill, you can analyze your Bill of Materials (BoM) using dashboards and reports.

Dashboard: An interactive display that shows analysis results in a visual format. You can drill down to see more detail, or modify assignments and see how indicator values change. For more details, see Viewing a dashboard.
Report: A document that can be printed or saved. Reports may be available in various formats. For more details, see Viewing a report.

MI Materials Gateway includes the Bill of Materials dashboard, Bill of Materials report, and Bill of Materials Comparison report, which analyze material mass and calculate weight roll-ups based on your material assignments.

If your organization has a license for MI Restricted Substances or MI Sustainability, you can also run a Restricted Substances or Sustainability analysis on your BoM. See Analyzing your BoM for Restricted Substances or Sustainability.

Note:

In Creo, analysis and reporting features are only available when you are viewing a hierarchical BoM - that is, when you have opened MI Materials Gateway from the main toolbar in Creo Parametric. See Creo Parametric.
In NX, analysis and reporting features are only available when you are working in BoM mode. See NX.
In Teamcenter and Windchill, you can also analyze the results of a 'Where Used' search.
