The BOM in individual views has three buttons and one additional functionality:

1. Exports the BOM to an Excel workbook. If your Excel does not include the "Power Query for Excel" add-in, the schedule will not open in Excel. The exported data can be found in the "FToolsBOM.csv" file in the F-Tools add-in folder.

2. Saves changes made to the schedule in the current view, closes and reopens the schedule dialog. The delay between closing and reopening the dialog is proportional to the size of the report.

3. Closes the schedule dialog without saving changes.

4. It is only on structured view and component view only and allows you to set how (ascending/descending) the structured view is sorted when you click on a column header.
