NEW Manage All Inventory page eff. 7/31
I've scoured the NEW version (mandatory effective 7/31) of Manage All Inventory page, and cannot find a column "Featured Offer Eligible" to periodically check this. Can anyone tell me WHERE that column can be found? On the previous version, it was right next to the Edit tab on the right side. Thanks to anyone who has an answer!!!

Still looking at this (I am the OP) and now see Matt C is in charge of this area, so thought I'd tag him here to answer my question. Thanks, Matt!

With the default options in the new Manage Inventory page, Featured Offer Eligible is not an option that can be selected. However, if you use the wheel in the top right to customize your view with preferences, you should see a button to "Import Prior Preferences". Once you do that, Featured Offer Eligible becomes an option that you can enable for display.

Click on preferences (black gear icon upper right). Takes you to preferences page. Can return to default or set new parameters. FOE is one of these.
Doesn't state an easy Yes or No(OF COURSE). Just ----- next to FOE on most of ours. Some have a green X-but not our price; other sellers.
No red X's except by cheapest price-we're rarely the cheapest price.
We'd been "No" since the night before Prime Day, our ODR is .54, due to a negative feedback. So am assuming, though before PD we sometimes had the BB on higher price, rare titles w/ no MEGAS listed, we're still in purgatory.
THUMBS UP to @Wellbuilt!!
But a thumbs down to AMZ'S IT team for not making this a simple YES/NO!!

If you see a green check mark next to the featured offer, it means your price qualifies for the buy box/featured offer.
If you see a red X mark, it means that your price does not qualify for the buy box/featured offer.
If you don't see either, there are no eligible featured offers for this product.
After diving into this theory a bit, I'm still trying to sort it all out.
Just to make sure we're all talking about the same thing, you're saying these marks would appear in front of the line saying "Featured Offer" directly under "Price," right?
If so (or, if this is NOT what you meant, please tell me), your last point I have found not to be the case in my inventory. I have many listings with no check mark and no X, yet there IS a Buy Box on the page.
I'm really not sure if the "Featured Offer" line indicates the current offer in the Buy Box. That, of course, can change by the minute, and refreshing the page can change that number, so maybe that is it. But then some "Featured Offer" lines have no price entered there - when there IS a Buy Box. (Refreshing doesn't change that.)
Based on my own inventory, what I am finding is that a red X indicates that my price is higher than the current BB offer, and a green check mark tells me I'm lower. I just don't see how it can relate to eligibility. This is my main stumbling block with the posited theory. Since Buy Box eligibility is (apparently) based on many factors - not just price - I don't see how a price, in-and-of itself, could indicate eligibility or ineligibility. The check marks and X's seem to simply say an offer is higher/lower than the BB price.
@KJ_Amazon, since you concurred with @Seller_pGvzpun8rGPzm's analysis, can you confirm that those are Amazon's interpretations of these symbols? If so, where is it broken down?
If not, could you point us in the direction of where Amazon tells us what these symbols DO mean? It surely has to be explained somewhere, as it's really not intuitive, at least to me.
