Creating a Configuration

Select the Products -> Configurator menu or the icon on the toolbar to display the Configurator window.

To create a new configuration, click on the [New] button.

In the following window you can enter a name for the configuration:

Click on the [Ok] button to save the configuration name.

To clone an existing configuration, click the [Clone] button. Cloning is very useful for when you want to create another configuration that is mostly the same as an existing configuration, but with changes.

Note:

The Configurations window can be resized. The last size and location will be remembered (per user) for the next time.

Searching for a Configuration

Users can search for a Configuration via the Search by Name field by either searching for the exact Configuration name or by using the begins with, contains, ends with, and Search Query fields.

Tip:

When using the Search Query operator, use double quotes [ " " ] around a phrase to search for that phrase. If you type a minus [ - ] character after the phrase, the search results will omit anything typed after the minus sign. For example, if you wanted to search for any configurations that contained "Microsoft Office" in the phrase but didn't want it to include results that have "2007" in them it would look like this: "Microsoft Office" - 2007. If you typed "Microsoft Office" -Basic - OEM this would omit any results that contain the word "Basic" and/or "OEM" after Microsoft Office.

Editing a Configuration

From the list of configurations select the Configuration that you want to edit, and then click on the [Edit] button to edit the configuration. The Configuration Setup window has 2 tabs:

•Settings Tab

•Flowchart Tab

Printing a Configuration

The Printer Setup icon next to the Print icon can be used to set the margins for the printed configuration.
