Contents
The Ciiva Analysis panel gives feedback on the costings, supplier breakdown and the supplier settings, for the current CiivaBOM.
Summary
The Ciiva Analysis panel gives an overview of the total cost of the parts used on the board for the defined batch size, which is also graphed over different production volumes. It also shows a breakdown of which supplier's are being used to source the parts, and a summary of the lifecycle state of those parts. It is also used to configure which suppliers are used for the current CiivaBOM.

Lifecycle Summary
This region displays a graph of the lifecycle state of all parts in the CiivaBOM, use this to quickly identify if there are parts that might have supply issues. If there are, sort the CiivaBOM by the Lifecycle Status column (click once in the column heading), to cluster the parts by their lifecycle status, making it easy to locate the parts of interest. Alternatively, enter a string into Lifecycle Status column filter box, such as obsolete, or not recommended, to quickly locate parts with that status.
Supply Chain Tab
Supplier Configuration

The CiivaBOM is updated as soon as a change is made, note that you will need to review the BOM to ensure that all parts still have a supplier. The default set of suppliers are defined in the Ciiva - General page of the Preferences dialog.
