Click Assembly
and open a PCB design.
If you are not logged in, nothing happens when you click the command. -
On the Assembly main page, click the Component tab and explore the table structure including column headers and rows, to understand the data it contains.
In this example, the table shows the data for five PCB entity attributes, each presented in its corresponding column.

In the main window, click the Part Number header to sort
the part numbers in descending order.

In the Columns panel, clear, for example, the

To explore only the top board side component data, hover over a
Board Side column heading, click the column options
to open the quick access commands, choose the column filter, and clear the Bottom
check box.
-
To group the components data by the board side and the package number, drag and
drop the Board Side and Package
Name headers to the grouping row.
You can also group the data using the Columns toolbox.

To display full set of data in the grouping, hover over a
Group column heading. Click the column options
