Example of a configurable product

To add a computer as a configurable product:

1. Log in your administrator panel and click on the Product configurator link in the Catalog side box on the left.
2. There are three sections: Steps, Product groups, Compatibility classes on the Product configurator page.
   1. In the Steps section add the desired steps of assembling by using the Add new step(s) form.

      EXAMPLE: First step: Required products (motherboard, processor and etc); second step: Periphery components (printer, modem and etc).
      

   2. In the Product groups section create groups of products by using the Add new product group(s) form.

      EXAMPLE: Product group name: Motherboards, step: Required products, display type: Selectbox.
      

      There are the following display types:

      - Selectbox
      - Radiogroup
      - Checkbox
      

   3. In the Compatibility classes section:
      • Create classes of products and assign them to the groups by using Add new classes form.

        EXAMPLE:
        Class name: Intel Motherboards, group: Motherboards;
        Class name: AMD Motherboards, group: Motherboards;
        Class name: Intel Processors, group: Processors;
        Class name: AMD Processors, group: Processors;
        

      • Click on the details link of the first class.
      • Add a product to the Defined class products section by using the Add product(s) to this section form.
      • Add compatible classes to the Compatible with classes section by using the Add new compatible classes form.
      • Repeat these actions for the other classes.

        NOTE: The Intel Motherboards and Intel Processors classes should be compatible with each other, the same is for the AMD Motherboards and AMD Processors ones.
        NOTE: If customer selects a product, for example, from the Intel Motherboards class he will not be able to select products from the AMD Processors one.
