Creating Product Builder Templates

Product Groups are used to create a dynamic Product Builder interface for your customers.
Product Builders are only used in environments where a complete line of products is available in a variety of colors, sizes, etc.

The product builder template differs from the product template only in that the partnumber isn't listed anywhere. The part number is determined by matching the options provided (color,size,etc) with the options listed for each product.

To design a product builder interface, follow these simple steps:
  1. First, choose the Product Center button. In the toolbar, pull down on Group and select Add a New Group.

  2. Enter all of the products into the Product Center, defining the same group
  3. All of the products should be given a blank template name
  4. Edit the group template to provide the user with selections for each of the available options
