New Saved Settings for BOM Tool and Part Search

The latest way to customize your Octopart experience is here! Now, you can save preferred settings across the whole website, whether you’re searching for electronic components or uploading BOMs.

Now, you can add your preferred country and preferred currency to your account. You’ll see your preferences reflected in the BOM Tool and in our search tool. You can change these at any time in your account settings. You can also add or change preferred distributors for the BOM Tool in your account settings — these are the distributors that you’ll automatically see pricing and availability from in the tool. Should your favorite distributors change from project to project, you can also choose preferred distributors on each BOM that you create.

If you don’t have a preferred currency saved already, you can also save it from the BOM Tool. After you change the currency, we’ll ask if you’d like to save that currency as your preferred currency – if you click “Save” we’ll use it as your currency across all Octopart tools (you can change this at any time from your account settings).

Start saving your country, currency, and BOM Tool distributor preferences today! Plenty more ways to customize your Octopart search experience are coming soon, so make sure you stay up to date with what’s new: sign up for our once-monthly newsletter here.
