Preferred Method to Indicate Non-Populated Components

What is the preferred method for indicating components that aren't populated in OrCAD Capture 16.6? Do I just simply add text next to the schematic symbol that says "Do Not Populate", or is there something in the property editor that I can add or change so that the component shows that it shouldn't be populated when I generate the BOM?

I can manually make the changes to the bill of materials as well as the schematic, I was just wondering if there was some feature of OrCAD that could handle this for me.

The "streamlined" approach is to use the CIS Option, it supports BOM Variants, you have a "core design" of "everything" and the BOM Variants where parts are the same as the core design, not fitted, or fitted with a different value from the core design - the CIS reporting supports the generation of BOM reports for the variants.
