Add options to a section

Fill a product section with up to three options: from a link, from products you already have, or by hand.

Why use it

Options are what your client chooses between. Putting them in one section, with the same fields shown for each, makes the comparison fair and quick. You can mix sources: a new find from a vendor site next to a Library staple and a piece already in another room.

When to use it

From a link. You found it online. Moodiri fills in the details. See Add a product from a link.
From existing products. It is already in this project, or saved in your Library. See Add a product from the Library.
Manually. A custom or trade-only piece with no web page.

Before you start

A product section in the room. See Add a product section.
Open the room's products page and select the section's card.

Steps

In the Counter stools section, choose an empty Add option card.

To reuse a product, choose Select from existing, then pick from this room, Other spaces or the Library.
To enter the details yourself, choose Add manually.
Type the option's title, for example Hatch counter stool. Then pick a Category and enter the Product cost.

Limits

Limits

Existing products come from this room, Other spaces in the project, or the Library.
An approval holds up to three options. With three in place, the next card asks you to remove one before adding another.
Options cannot be added once the section is approved or decided. Reopen the decision first.

Questions

Does picking a product from another room move it?

No. The same product becomes an option here and stays in its own room. To move a product between rooms, use Move room on its product page.

How do I remove an option?

Use the remove button on the option card. Admins can delete the product outright; members remove it from the section and the product stays in the room.
