Configure Catalog Item Parameter Properties

Use the Parameters tab of Edit Catalog Item to assign parameters to a catalog item.

Before you begin

The parameter definitions must be created before configuring parameter properties. For information, see the discussion about parameter definitions.

About this task

Perform this task to assign parameters to a catalog item, and specify default values for the parameters. You can override a parameter's default value at purchase time.

Procedure

  1. In Edit Catalog Item, click the Parameters tab.
  2. Click Add Parameter to add a parameter to the catalog item. You can search for a parameter by typing a string in the Search field. You can also sort the list by clicking on a column head.
  3. In Add Parameter:
    1. Click the parameter you want to add.
      Note: Add is unavailable until you select a parameter.
    2. In Default Value, enter the default value for the catalog item parameter.
    3. Click Add.
  4. (Optional) To change the default value for a parameter, click in Default Value and enter a new value.
  5. (Optional) To delete a parameter from the catalog item, click Delete Icon next to the parameter that you want to delete, and click Yes to confirm the deletion.
    Note: You cannot delete a parameter if a link is binding it to a parameter in the attached offer or bundle or if the parameter is a default binding parameter.
  6. Click Save.

What to do next

If required, configure parameter binding properties to enable catalog item parameter values to be passed to the offer or bundle during rating.
Note: MATRIXX creates default bindings between the parameters in the offer or bundle associated with a catalog item and catalog parameters with the same names. The default binding parameters are added to the list of catalog parameters, and the default bindings are listed in the offer or bundle parameters binding panel.
