Click Add (
), and select the variant that you want to work with on this template.
Once you select the correct variant, click Save (
) to apply the variant against the template. When it is confirmed as saved, the variant name becomes a hyperlink, clicking on this hyperlink allows you to add resources to the variant.
Once you click the hyperlink, a new page will load allowing you to add the resources, nominate suppliers and apply price. Just like adding resources in other screens, you are able to do this specifically for the variant that you are working with, the only difference being that a ‘variant’ type can be selected when adding the resource in item selection.
Select the Add Type and click Add (
),
Ensure that a package is selected in the ordering details.
Once you are happy with the resource click Save (
), located at the bottom right hand corner.
When you have set up the variants, you can then use them to swap out a set of resources when the variant applies to the template change.
