About Configuration Rules

Configuration rules can be accessed from the Categories menu of the Properties page for a product or feature. They include the following:

  • Compatibility Rules—define which feature/option pairs are compatible, incompatible or co-dependent.
  • Marketing Preferences—define the available feature options for a configuration feature in a product configuration.
  • Product Compatibility Rules—determine upward and downward compatibility for a product. Can the new bicycle just developed use the seat from last year's model, or can last year's model use the same pedals as this year's model?
  • Resources—limit the number of options that can be ordered.
  • Rule Extensions—perform a further validity check after other rules have been applied.
