Creating, Editing, and Printing a Configuration

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 searching by the Name, Description, and/or Notes fields. You can use the search query options to search by "Begins With", "Contains", "Ends With", or Search Query.

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.

Tip:	The columns on the Configuration window can be rearranged by dragging and dropping them into a different order. Users can also click on the column name to sort the Configuration.
