Use a model to create an item as a preconfigured item

You can use a model to create an item as a preconfigured item. A model represents all the possible valid configurations for that item

1. From the Primary Information screen corresponding to the item that you want to create as a preconfigured item, perform the following steps:
   1. In the Related Tasks panel, click Manage Components.
   2. The Components panel is displayed. Select the Use Configuration Model radio button.
   3. Click the Search icon adjacent the Configuration Model* box to search for the model you want to use.
   4. The Configuration Model dialog box is displayed. In the Model Groups tree, which displays only the models specific to your locale, navigate to the model that is associated to the configurable item for which you are defining this preconfiguration, and click Select.
   5. The selected model is displayed in the Configuration Model box.
   6. Select the Is Pre-Configured check box.
      Note: The Is Pre-Configured check box is enabled only if you have selected a model in the Configuration Model dialog box.
2. Click Update Configuration.
3. The Sterling Omni-Configurator dialog box is displayed. Select the items with the corresponding configurations, and click Save.

   The selected items with associated Item ID are displayed in the Components panel. However, the selected items without an associated Item ID are considered as item instructions and are not displayed in the Components panel.

4. Click Save.
