Item configuration using Omni-Configurator

You can pre-configure an item, or allow the customer to configure their own items.

Customers must be able to configure the items they are interested in buying so that they can build the items according to their requirements. For example, a customer who is interested in buying a desktop computer may want to select the appropriate RAM, hard disk, or monitor for the computer based on the customer's requirements.

While a configurable item is an item that can be customized by a customer at the time of purchase, a preconfigured item is an item whose components have already been configured. Preconfigured items and configurable items are items that have been set up as model items, using the Sterling Configurator Visual Modeler. Each model consists of option classes, and option items within these option classes. Option items are the selections made by a customer to configure the corresponding items. For example, the option classes are RAM, hard disk, and monitor, and the options that are displayed under these option classes are the option items.
