I needed to give users a much easier way to search and select from items, routings, and materials interchangeably. I added a side panel only visible when editing the BOM or routing. Within this panel they can easily toggle between elements they are adding. We also added the ability to drag and drop elements from the panel into the BOM or routing as well as within the BOM & routing levels. I also added the first right click functionality in the site here so that users could quickly copy and paste elements, delete elements, or duplicate portions of the BOM. We also updated the order of the items to reflect newly added items and materials at the top so that relevant data was readily accessible.
