Variants The product data may contain variations such as colour, size or other attributes and their combinations. Each variant may contain product information such as description or Digital Assets. This data can be selected from a set of data assigned to the Product card.

Manage product data

Like Item, Variants can be expanded with product data. All data, which you want to set for variants, you can manage dirrectly on the page Item Variants.

You can assign to an variant the data as Product Features, Translations, Pictures, Documents, Media, Graphics and CAD Drawings.

How to extend variants with additional fields

With the Product Feature it is possible to extend the variants with a new field that allows to enter more different combinations of variants On the Item Card, we will add Product Features with the Default Feature Type set to Variant. Such Features will be created in the feature list.
