Product Administration Guide > Customizable Product User Interface > Grouping Items onto PagesGroups are the way you define what items go on which selection pages. Depending on the product theme, all the items in a group display on one page. These pages display when the user selects the item for configuration. For example, you design a customizable product that includes a computer monitor and a service plan. The user can select from among 4 monitors and 3 service plans. To display monitors and service plans on separate selection pages, you would create one group for monitors and one for service plans. Setting up groups requires two steps: All the relationships, resource definitions, and linked items in a customizable product are listed in the Product UI Designer. Each item has an Add Item to Group button. The attributes of the customizable product are also listed. These are not the attributes defined for items in relationships. These are the attributes that the whole customizable product inherits from the class to which it belongs in the product table. After you create a group and add items, you can verify your work by validating the customizable product. Validating a customizable product displays the selection pages a user sees during a configuration session. To validate the customizable product, from the Group Lists menu, choose Validate.
Each group definition corresponds to one selection page. After you define a group, add the items you want to display on its corresponding page.
