How to set up a custom column?

What is sub-assembly mode?
Sub-assembly mode helps you define assemblies or "sets." This allows you to create a package with specific quantities and multiply them easily.
For example, imagine you have a BOM for a robot arm. It consists of 10 different parts, each with varying quantities. Now, you want to set these quantities and multiply the entire BOM by the number of assemblies you need to order.
This is where you can switch on the "sub-assembly" mode in the RFQ sidebar and define the assembly's multipliers.
How to filter in the RFQ table?
You can click on the "Filters" button next to the search input.
Then, you can define by which field you'd like to filter (e.g., "Created By" would mean the user who created the RFQ).
We also have "quick filters" like "Waiting for a quote" or "Quote Given" for frequently used filters.
