Specify derived option defaults

To specify derived option defaults, follow the same procedure as specifying fixed option defaults, except that you also specify a condition. To set a derived option default, for example, radio TO stereo IF car type = GLX on item A01000, Car Model G:

Procedure Select the structure line that represents the owning item revision, for example, Car Model G. Select the Option Defaults branch in the variant data tree. Teamcenter displays the Option Defaults dialog box. Enter the name of the option in the Option box, for example, radio. Enter the value of the option in the Value box, for example, stereo. Define the condition, for example, car type = GLX. Click Create to create the option default. Expand the Option Default branch and verify the option default is added below any that already existed, for example: Copy SET radio TO stereo IF car type = GLX Click Save to save the changes. A Y appears in the HVD - Has Variant Data column of the properties table for the owning item revision (A01000, Car Model G), if variant data was not already created.
