Connecting presentations to associated parts

If a presentation is to be purchaseable, it needs to be connected to an associated part (backing part). Typically this is used if an assembly, a kit or a product is to be purchaseable.

Overview

If a presentation has an associated part, that presentation will get an order button, provided that order process is configured.

If a presentation has an associated part, make sure to place specifications and other attributes on the presentation and not on the part.

Automatic connection and batch connection

Version 5.1 introduces automatic connection and batch connection

If user selects a presentation which has an identity which matches the identity or part number of a part, user will get notified that there is an associated part.

This automatic detection of associated parts can be turned off under Options dialogue. This setting is a server setting, so all users will get this setting.

It is also possible to select many presentations in a storage and attach corresponding associated part to all selected presentations.
