Edit Option List

Contents of this Topic: ShowHide

Overview

The Edit Option List screen is opened by the Edit Option List or Add Option List buttons on the Attributes & Options tab of the Inventory screen.

When Add Option List is selected, the caption of the screen changes to reflect that an option list is being added, not edited.

Option Lists categorize product attributes, such as size or color. Individual options, such as Black or Large, are added to an option list.
