Interactive Reports for Clarity

Once the validation is complete, you’ll receive an interactive report highlighting any objects that failed the checks. This makes it easy to identify issues and determine the next steps, providing a clear path forward for fixing errors.

After a successful check, BCT CheckIt can automatically trigger follow-up events, like starting a new workflow or sending out an email notification. This automation keeps your team informed and your processes moving without manual intervention.

Validate Large Assemblies in Seconds

Boost Your Validation Speed with BCT CheckIt v24R4: Filter and Validate Big Assemblies in Seconds!

We know how frustrating it can be to validate large assemblies, waiting hours for the process to complete while you’re stuck in a productivity bottleneck. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a game-changing feature in our latest release, BCT CheckIt v24R4, designed to take the hassle out of assembly validation.

With the new filtering functionality, you can now zoom through the validation process by focusing only on the relevant components that matter to you. No more wasting time checking every little part—BCT CheckIt now supports advanced filtering based on component types and properties. This means you can apply precise filters to target the specific areas of your assembly that need validation, saving valuable time and resources.

But that’s not all! BCT CheckIt has also leveled up with Closure Rules, which work behind the scenes to speed things up even further. While resolving an assembly, the software cleverly skips over the branches of the assembly tree that you’ve configured as irrelevant. This optimization ensures that the validation process is lightning-fast by applying filtering before the Bill of Materials (BOM) resolution even kicks in.

The result? Assemblies that used to take two hours to validate now take only a matter of seconds!

With BCT CheckIt v24R4, you can say goodbye to long waits and hello to streamlined efficiency. Whether you're working on complex projects or validating large-scale assemblies, this new release is designed to make your life easier, giving you more time to focus on what really matters.

So why wait? Upgrade your BCT CheckIt version today and experience the future of assembly validation!

Available with BCT v24R4, released 07/2024
