It is possible to fix material directly to the clamp panels (A) of the Y Bench or to a spoilboard under the stock material using woodscrews. Make sure that they are:
Positioned away from the cutting toolpaths to prevent damages to the tool.
Driven at least 1 mm below the top surface of the material (provided you are using a spoilboard), so as not to disturb flatness.
You can fix smaller materials to SmartBench with double-sided tape.
Make sure your chosen tape has the right properties for your stock material. For example, use woodworking tape to properly fix wood offcuts.
