The ABM Report window
" ABM Qualifiers " and " Report Layout " and " Review ABM " and " View ABM Criteria " open read-only windows.
When a file is selected for " ABM Name ," the " Current ABM Revision " ( read-only ) tells you the most recent revision of that ABM.
If no ABM has been created in a full-featured SDS2 program , then no file can be selected for " ABM Name " and this window is almost entirely read-only.
To open this window:
Method 1 : Click the ABM Report icon, which is pictured above. If the " Modeling layout style " or " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', the icon can be found in the group called ' Reports '.
Method 2 : In Modeling ( classic ) or the Drawing Editor ( classic ) , choose Reports > Advanced Bill of Material or click the icon or use a keyboard shortcut.
Method 3 : Home > Reports > System Reports > " Advanced Bill of Material ."

" ABM Qualifiers " is a button that opens the ABM Qualifiers setup window. That window is read-only in Site Planning. Settings applied to the ABM Qualifiers window are for your current Fabricator . Changing to a different Fabricator changes to a different ABM Qualifiers window that may have different settings. In a full-featured SDS2 program, the ABM Qualifiers window is set up prior to adding members and materials to the model.
" Report Layout " is a button that opens the ABM Report Layout setup window, which sets the columns that appear on reports that are generated when you press " Print ABM Report " or " Print Material Change Notice ."
ABM Name: The file name of your current ABM.
If no ABM file is listed here, then no ABM has been created for your current Job in a full-featured SDS2 program . You cannot select an ABM since one does not exist, and this window is almost entirely read-only.
If no ABM file is listed here, you may be able to change to a different ABM, but only if a different ABM has been created in a full-featured SDS2 program.
Member and material review windows: ABM
Material General Information window: File name

' Original ' indicates that " ABM Name " has never been updated. The current ABM is still revision number 0.
' 1 ' indicates that the " ABM Name " has been updated one time. Updating is done by pressing the " Update ABM " button.
