BoM export - BoM level Indicator

[david.rust]

When exporting the BoM table from Vault Pro, there is no way of showing the BoM level indicator (which it does in Inventor).  This is really annoying as the whole purpose of exporting the BoM is to then import into another system, such as SAP or perhaps a Spreadsheet.  Without the BoM level indicator this is really difficult (actually impossible).  

The other way is to use the Export Items tool (right click in the BoM tab), however all the Items must be set to ‘released’ for this to work.  Sometimes I want to export for progress reporting, and all the Items are not yet released.  Please add an option which allows us to export the Items at any Lifecycle stage.  Currently the Software is far too restrictive for users in the real world.

Alternatively, if you are exporting in order to import them into an ERP system, a parent child export style would also be useful.  It would also be even easier for vault to export, because I promise that this is how the BOM relationships are stored in the database.
