Create nomenclature
===================

A `project`_ is a combination / assembly of `elements`_ / components, QElectroTech provides the feature to create a nomenclature, 
also known as Bill Of Materials (BOM), which shows the information about the different `elements`_ / components. QElectroTech allows 
creating the nomenclature automatically.

      |go-up|                Move up this field                   
      |list-add|             Add field to display list            Double click on field at available list
      |list-remove|          Remove field from display list       Double click on field at display list
      |go-down|              Move down this field

      .. note::

         The content request configuration can be saved and chosen from **Configuration** section to increase working efficiency.

         QElectroTech is working with SQLite database, nomenclature table content can also be defined by SQL query. 

   8. Define the filtering parameters (**Filter by** and type of `elements`_).
   9. Once the desired configuration is defined, press **OK** to create nomenclature tables.

.. note::

   The project nomenclature can be created, modified and updated at any time.
