| + | When a system is offered using Metis Smart Quotes, may need to create the offer based on type of "installation" it is intended for. For example, the system should be configured differently if it is a new installation or if the system needs to be upgraded. To define those "situations" in Metis Smart Modeling the Administrator has the possibility to specify as many as required Model Types. | ||

For example, the end-user will be able the select a system and chose whether it is intended for a new installation, an extension (upgrading the system), a migration (converting an existing system to a new one) or simply for spare parts. | ||
