A configurable property appears to customers as one purchasable item, but is actually a combination of variable components. A computer could be a configurable property, for example, if customers are permitted to select on the fly the amount of memory, size of the monitor, and the software that will be installed on it. The components that make up a configurable property (computer), called configurable options (monitor of this size), are associated with existing SKUs. If you set a price in a configurable option, that price overrides the price supplied in the SKU.
This section describes the properties you are required to fill in when you are creating a configurable property. Additionally, the Configurable Options property is described here because it’s likely you’ll want to define them now. For a comprehensive list of the properties for configurable properties, see Appendix A, : Asset Properties.
To add a new configurable property to a configurable SKU:
In the Browse tab, Search tab, or Project tab, select a configurable SKU. To learn how to access these tabs, see Locating Assets.
In the Basics tab, find the Configurable Properties property and click Add New beside it.
The Details pane displays empty text boxes that you fill in to define the configurable property. At the top of the Details pane, the Breadcrumb dropdown list has an entry for the configurable SKU you were just editing and the configurable property you are creating now.
Enter a name for the configurable property in the Name text box. (Required).
Specify the configurable options:
Replace one configurable option with another by clicking the Edit button beside the option you want to replace, which opens the Select an Item dialog box. Locate all configurable options by clicking Find. Locate the replacement configurable option, click the radio button beside it, and click OK.
Rearrange the position of a configurable option in the list by changing the number beside it. To preview the new order, click Reorder.
Remove a configurable option from the list by clicking the checkbox beside the one you want to move, and then clicking Remove Selected.
Add a configurable option to the list by clicking Add Existing to add a row to the table and clicking the Edit button beside it in order to open the Select an Item dialog box. Locate all configurable options by clicking Find. Locate the configurable option, click the radio button beside it, and click OK.
Create a configurable option that will be added to the list by clicking Add New. The Details pane holds properties that you fill in to define the configurable option. See Creating Configuration Options for instructions. To return to the configurable property, select it from the Breadcrumb dropdown list on the top of the Details pane.
