Creating an Option Group

You can create an option group that is part of the enterprise variants and options available for use in a product configuration for any model version.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To create an option group within the context of Enterprise Variability:
      1. From the left navigation pane, select Enterprise Variability.
      2. Select the Options tab.
      3. From the page toolbar, click Create Option Group.
    • To create an option group within the context of a model version and automatically allocate it to the model version, do the following:
      1. From the left navigation pane, select My Model Versions.
      2. Open the model version. For more information, see Opening a Model Version.
      3. Select the Variability tab.
      4. From the page toolbar, click Add > New Option Group.
  2. Enter a title for the new option group.
  3. Optional: Enter a description of the option group.
  4. Optional: To select an image for the new option group, do one of the following:
    • Drag an image into the Image field.
    • Click Upload Image, browse to the image, then click Open.
  5. To create the option group, do one of the following:
    • Click Create to create a single option group.

      Your option group is created and the dialog box closes.

    • Click Create another to create an option group using the current information, then be able to create additional option groups.

      Your option group is created when you click Create another. The dialog box remains open so that you can create another option group by changing the information.

    If you create an option group within the context of a model version, it is automatically selected and allocated to that model version. It is also available in Enterprise Variability to be allocated to other model versions. If the Information pane is open, the Options tab opens. If the newly added option group is not visible in the viewport, then the view scrolls to show it.

A new option group is created with a system-generated Name and the specified Title. Option groups are created in the Preliminary lifecycle state.
