Configure how a user creates, views, and updates solution variants

You can configure how a business user creates, views, and updates solution variants by using the SolutionVariantProviderAvailable preference.

Preference value	Solution variants table location	User action
False (default)	Solution Variants tab > Solution Variants section	A user sets the Solution Variant Category to Reuse and updates a solution variant manually.
True	Overview tab > Solution Variants section	A user sets the variant and a Solution Variant Category to selected assembly and then clicks Create Solution Variant. Teamcenter compares the content of the displayed structure with solution variants already available in the database. If a matching solution variant is found, a message is displayed, asking if you want to open it. If a matching solution variant is not found, the Preview Solution Variant page is displayed. The user can confirm the details and click Create to create the solution variant.
