The best way to describe this is trough an example. Two different offer types have been defined in Metis Smart Modeling. "New" which is to be used for complete system offering and "spare parts" which is to be used when offering individual components. By affecting value for those two different types to a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Variables|variable]], this same [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Variables|variable]] can then be used in masks and/or models to have an influence on the execution of a model. In this case, it would as simple as letting the Metis Smart Quotes user select all components to be offered instead of configuring them via the rules, but leaving the compatibility checking rules be executed. |
