2022-11-25: CE - Product Variants

Overview

The Product Variants feature allows Catalog Managers to define a product, based on a Product Template, that includes specific attributes and values, to allow the automatic generation of Product Variants from it. For example, a Product called a T-Shirt can be created that has the attributes Color (Red, Green) and Size (Small, Large). Once defined, the Emporix platform will automatically generate the Variants (Red/Small, Red/Large, Green/Small, Green/Large) from it. There is no limit to the number of variants that can be generated.
