You start with a Query Definition that reverse the Part structure. Than you build a TGV for this Query.

The guides for these two should be available online. Check out existing queries,

Just play around with the Query Builder and start with "Part". You can build queries that look upwards or downwards. So you can either replicate a Where Used or the BOM Structure.

Where can I get more information on how to create a Where Used TGV?

Thank you for your reply!

It doesn´t seem to be possible yet. See Where used - show descriptions?

"Where Used" uses the getItemWhereUsed action, which returns the data in a very specific and hardcoded way. It seems to be a core feature that we cannot modify.

One idea I had so far was to completely replace the stuff in item_methods.js and WhereUsed.js in the codetree. But I never tested this idea.

I thought the topic would be on the roadmap, but it was either removed or I mixed things up.
As alternative you still can use a TGV for a custom Where Used view.
