Linear item listing
By starting typing the meta-data in the list is incrementally searched:
New component dialog
Component meta-data dialog
Manufacturer & location name management
A tick indicates that a manufacturer or location name is in use. When importing components there are often duplicate entries (e.g. Cypress Semiconductor) so these dialogs allow them to be cleaned up easily.
Flat file import
This is intended to import flat files in the following format where each group of four lines contains the part number, order code, the item description, and the manufacturer. When importing the above dialog specifies which line corresponds to which piece of meta-data, and which vendor the order is from. This feature was added because it was quicker to turn website order listings into this format rather than cut'n'pasting everything individually into the new item dialog.
