How to assign product to a group?

Design Tools and Resources Scheme-it

I want to add this switch to my schemeit drawing. The diagram of this switch is given in the datasheet like this:

I can draw this diagram and group the components together using the function “Group” in schemeit. My problem is: I want to have a reference of the product in my drawing in order to produce later an accurate BOM. How to assign the reference of this Digikey product to the group I have created?

Thanks for any hint

This would enable you to have a single BOM entry for this PVA6LRE21231 switch.
