Constraining the Products Available for a Component of a Product Promotion

By default, a component of a customizable product in a product promotion has the products available that are defined in Configurator. However, you can modify the products that are available for the component so that the promotion offers only a subset of the products defined in Configurator.

For example, as defined in Configurator, a computer may be available with five different monitors. For the promotion, you may want to offer only two of those monitors.

To constrain the products available as a component of a product promotion

  1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then Product Promotions view.

  2. In the Product Promotions list, select the desired promotion.

  3. Click the Products view tab.

  4. In the Products list, click the Product Name field of the customizable product.

    The structure of that product is displayed.

  5. In the Relationships list, query the component you want to change.

  6. In the Relationship Domain list, click Modify.

    This deletes all the products in the Relationship Domain list.

    Note: You must now manually add all the products that you want to make available for the component in the promotion, as described in the following step.

  7. In the Relationship Domain list, click Add Item, and in the Domain Product field, select a product.

  8. Repeat Step 7 until you have added all the products that are available for that component in the promotion.

  9. In the Relationship Port field, modify the minimum and maximum cardinality as required.

    When you set Min Cardinality to 0, this means that the product is optional. If you set this value to 1, this means that the product is required. If the Min Cardinality setting is greater than 1, then this is the number of required products. If you set the Max Cardinality to 0, then the product cannot be added. If you don’t want any product to be selected, you must update the Max Cardinality setting accordingly.

    Note: Cardinality on the relationship is not enforced unless you modify the Min or Max Cardinality in the Relationships list.
