Features
Features are the individual items grouped under a Feature Group. They describe specific attributes of a vehicle. For example, within the Convenience group, items like Android Auto, Cup Holder, and Mobile Phone Rack are individual features.
Adding a New Feature
To add a new feature:
- Hover your mouse over a feature group name (e.g., Convenience).
- An Add New Feature link will appear under that group.
- Click the link to open the Add Feature window.
- Enter the feature name and any additional required details.
- Click Save to add the feature.
Editing a Feature
All features are displayed as clickable links. To edit a feature:
- Click on the feature name you want to modify.
- This will open the Edit Feature window. It is the same window that was used for adding a feature.
- Update the desired fields and click Save.
Deleting a Feature
A feature can be deleted only if it is not currently assigned to any trim or variant. To delete a feature:
- Click on the feature name (same as for editing).
- In the Edit Feature window, click the Delete button located at the bottom left.
Availability Scope
Availability Scope defines how a feature is treated when adding new trims or variants. It helps the system determine whether a feature should be pre-selected or remain optional, based on industry norms or vehicle-specific variations.
- Available in All Models: These are features that are industry standard or legally mandated. For example, in Canada, all drive-assist features such as adaptive cruise control are legally required. These features are considered present by default and are automatically selected when a new vehicle trim or variant is added.
- Available in Selected Models: These features are not universally present across all trims or variants. When a new variant is added, such features are left unchecked by default. The user can select them manually if they are available in the specific variant.
By properly setting the availability scope for each feature, the system can streamline the trim creation process while maintaining accurate feature representation for each vehicle.
