I have components in my design that I don't want to be part of my BOM. How do I designate them as DNP so they are not part of the BOM?

There used to be a Not Fitted parameter in the right hand panel but that was removed a few versions ago.
You could use the Add Parameter option and tick the In BoM box to create a Key = Fitted, Value = Y/N box:
This will list the fitted status in a separate column in the BoM and a simple spreadsheet function could be used generate a separate sheet for a BoM with the DNP entries masked out.
Or, what I have done in some designs is simply prefix the value with DNP_ so for example a 10k resistor would be DNP_10k.
In both cases, keep the rest of the BoM info the same so that if the part does need to be ordered then the info is all still there.
