Modify an option class

After you create an option class, you can then modify it as necessary.

About this task

To modify an option class:

1. In the model group hierarchy, navigate to and display the model, option class group, or option class that contains the option class.

   See Access the Visual Modeler for information on how to navigate the model group hierarchy.

2. In the Navigation frame, find and click on the option class that you want to modify.

   This displays the General Info tab for the option class.

3. Modify Name, Description, and Start and End Dates as applicable.
4. Enter a ratio in the Ratio field, if applicable.

   The ratio field determines the quantity of option items that are added to a customer's order. The quantity of any child item selected is multiplied by this ratio to compute the “extended” quantity of the child item. For example, a bicycle model may have a wheel option class defined with a ration of “2”. When a user selects a particular wheel item from this option class, then two wheels will be added to the configured product.

   You can enter the Ratio as either a whole number or a decimal.

5. As applicable, modify the order of the children or delete the children.

   See Delete the children of an option class.

6. If applicable, assign a product ID or modify the current assignment.

   See Associate a product with a model, option class, or option item.
