In order to define a new global product option class, provide the following settings:
1. Under the 'Add global product option' subtitle (Figure 9), provide the details of the global product option class you are defining:
| • | Select a category to which the new global product option class will be added. You can select multiple categories in the list by clicking on the category names while holding the <CTRL> button. |
| • | In the 'Option class name' field type in the name of the option class as it will appear at the Customer Zone and in the catalog database. This name must be unique (E.g.: 'ShoeSize', 'ProductColor', 'ToolVoltage'). |
| • | In the 'Option values' field type in the names of the options as they will appear at the Customer Front-End. Each option must be listed on a new line. |
| • | In the 'Option selection text' field type in the message that will appear at the customer front-end when a customer is offered to choose from the range of available options (E.g.: 'Choose your shoe size', 'Specify color', 'What is your voltage'). |
| • | 'Option selector' setting specifies how the options will be presented to a customer. You can choose from the following variants: 'Select Box' (default type), 'Radio Button', 'Text' and 'Text Area'. |
| Notes: | The last two variants mean that a customer will be provided a space to type in the product option of his choice.
If you choose 'Text' or 'Text Area' option type, the 'Option values' field must be empty.
When you choose 'Text' and 'Text Area' variants of option type, additional 'Option size' parameter appears allowing you to define the size of the text box. |
| • | 'Pos.' field is used to sort options in case there is more than one option defined for a product. Option classes with lower 'Pos.' values will appear at the beginning of the list of option classes. |
2. Click on the 'Add to selected' button to save the definition of the new global product option class.
