Using options

These attribute types provide the user with a value pool from which to select multiple values. Each value can be selected by clicking the check box next to it. This technique is useful for creating different product configurations.
Just as in Text with value selection, you define a value pool which can be used for this attribute. This allows you to make sure that only the values you suggest can be applied to an attribute.
The following example demonstrates this:
A basic product is to be offered with various additional components. In a Configuration attribute you provide possible configuration characteristics; see Figure 5.

When creating a product of this type the configuration of this product is displayed in the check boxes.
