How to create BOM in part studios

Hello ONSHAPE community ! ;)

Anyone have a idea how to create BOM for multi body sheet metal part studio?
I have created multi body sheet metal part studios and i wondering how i may present it on drawing for shop floor guys.
Because of its complexity move it to assembly is not a option. I started from surface model and convert it to sheet metal parts.
Any ideas.

    Dropping parts in assembly and group mating as John just showed is also very fast to do on mobile. I had a large imported assembly and was able to put all the parts in assemblies, group and fix, all on my phone while traveling (wife driving) and I think the workflow was as quick or quicker than in the browser.
