From In-Portal User Manual

This tab manages the product options and properties such as the product color, size etc. The administrator can add, edit or remove multiple options per product as well as manage the existing option combinations, edit pricing, surcharges and availability. Nothing has to be done on this tab if the product does not have any options.

The tab consists of a link to Combinations Management popup, Options Selection choice (radio button) and a grid listing all of the defined options.

• Manage Options Combinations - this link opens a popup for managing options combinations. The options have to be defined before working with the combinations. See Options Combinations Popup description for more information
• Options Selection Mode - there are two basic ways of displaying the possible options on the front end. The first one (selected by default) is the "Selection". When set to "Selection" the options will appear on the product details page as a form to be filled in by the customer. The administrator controls the fields displayed on the form by specifying the type (drop-down/radio-buttons/checkboxes etc) and setting the required flag for each of the options. A product cannot be added to the shopping cart until the customer has selected all of the required options.
  If the selection mode is set to "Listing" then all of the combinations defined in Combinations Management popup will be listed with the "add to cart" link next to each combination. At least one option has to be set as required, otherwise it will be possible to add the product to the shopping cart without specifying any combination.

The toolbar of the tab contains the following buttons:

• New option - opens the add option form
• Edit - opens the edit form for the selected option
• Delete - deletes the selected options after a confirmation. Note, that option combinations should be revised after deleting an option.
• Move up, Move down - adjusts the priority of the selected options. The options are listed on the front end according to the priority.
• View - opens the view menu.
