Create options manually

If you use the Create New Option dialog box, you can create many similar options more quickly than with the wizard. To create an option in this way, enter the following information in the dialog box: Select the visibility of the option, PRIVATE or PUBLIC. Public options may be set by a user or a parent module option when configuring a module. Private options cannot be set by the user and are not displayed when configuring a module. Private options are set from public options by constraints. Enter a name and description for the option. Choose a type for the option from the drop-down list, String with default, Real/Integer or Logical. If you choose String, you must enter the allowed values in the Allowed Values box. If the option is based on a global option definition (for example, Appliance Width), select the global option from the drop-down list. Enter the remaining information required in the dialog box.
