| - | '''Metis Smart Modeling users''' are most likely country Administrators and/or Product Managers. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''Metis Smart Modeling''' allows the administration of content for Metis Smart Quote, such as systems, products, hierarchies, prices, groups, documents, and user rights. It also enables the creation of models, which makes the use of Metis Smart Quote and information management easier.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Different '''versions''' may be defined, to better focus on organizational and/or market needs. Versions that descend from a main version are named Child Versions. The main version, which creates a Child Version, is called the Parent Version.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''Metis Smart Quote users''' are most likely salespeople and/or sales engineers.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Metis offers the possibility to classify the products and services portfolio in different categories, as shown below:

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | A '''position''' is a product. This product can be a material or a service.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Positions can be grouped within '''subsections''' or '''sections'''. The subsection is an intermediate level to allow a user to group the positions more precisely. Grouping positions into subsections is optional. However, positions must be part of a section.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The sections and subsections serve to make up '''hierarchies'''. Hierarchies serve to determine which positions a Metis Smart Modeling user has the right to use (i.e. hierarchy profile).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The '''group of hierarchies''' is the topmost level. It serves to further classify the hierarchies into groups which share similarities.
