Step 4: Adding Options

Step 4: Add Options → PO, OG, ON, OD, TO, O1-O3, SO & G0-G6

The fourth step involves adding the option details and linking the orderable options to each part number.

G0-G6* columns are located in the SAM tab.

* Additional G columns may be added depending on the product options.

PO, OG, ON, OD, TO, O1-O3, and SO columns are found in the OPTIONS tab.

Here is a quick glossary reminder for the codes in this step:

Code	Name	Definition
G0-G6*	Options	Numbers represent the option sequences Points to the PO column in the Options tab
PO*	Option Table Name	References the G0-G9 columns in the SAM tab • Codes must match exactly No duplicates allowed; one value per Option Group Example: PNT
OG	Option Group Description	Brief description of the Option Table Example: Paint Grade Will prompt the user with this description • "Please select a Paint Grade."
ON	Option Number/Code	Associates a number or code to the option Example: GR-1
OD	Option Code Description	Brief description of the Option Number/Code Example: Grade 1
TO	Optional Text	Prompts the user to manually enter a value Often used for COMs Example: "Enter COM Number"
O1-O6	Option Price	Up or down charge associated with the ON option Up to (6) are allowed
SO	Sub-Option	Used to point to another Option Table (PO) Allows options to branch to other options

* G0-G6 and PO are not user-facing values

As a friendly reminder, Hedberg contains a few character limits:

User will select a Part Number (PN) to add to their drawing or spreadsheet. The combined information of Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 is what makes this happen.
Selecting a Part Number opens the Part Specifier and prompts the user to select the first Option (G0).
In this example, the "No Stack" option is selected
Because the Option Group (OG), "Panel Stack", does not have a Sub-Option (SO) value, the finish selection for this group is finished.
Percentage upcharges cannot be used in the Sub-Option (SO) column.
The user is then prompted to make a selection for Option (G1). The same concept previously used with Option (G0) applies to all G columns.

In this example, "Grade 1" is selected
Notice how Option Group (OG), "Paint Grade", includes a Sub-Option (SO).
Because of the Sub-Option (SO) value, "GRD1", the user is prompted to make a selection from the Option Table (PO) with "GRD1".

In this example, "Platinum" is selected
This pattern continues until there is no longer a value in the Sub-Option (SO) column.
The process continues in numerical order for each G column until all G columns have been optioned.
Don't forget!
- - (G) columns that are not used must be deleted
