<p>This tab manages the product options and  properties such as the product color, size etc. The administrator can add, edit  or remove multiple options per product as well as manage the existing option  combinations, edit pricing, surcharges and availability. Nothing has to be done  on this tab if the product does not have any options.</p>
<p>The tab consists of a link to Combinations  Management popup, Options Selection choice (radio button) and a grid listing  all of the defined options.</p>
<ul>
    <li>Manage Options Combinations - this link opens a popup for managing options combinations. The options have to  be defined before working with the combinations. See Options Combinations Popup  description for more information</li>
    <li>Options Selection Mode - there  are two basic ways of displaying the possible options on the front end. The  first one (selected by default) is the &quot;Selection&quot;. When set to &quot;Selection&quot; the  options will appear on the product details page as a form to be filled in by  the customer. The administrator controls the fields displayed on the form by  specifying the type (drop-down/radio-buttons/checkboxes etc) and setting the  required flag for each of the options. A product cannot be added to the shopping  cart until the customer has selected all of the required options.<br/>
    If the selection mode is set to &quot;Listing&quot; then all of the combinations defined  in Combinations Management popup will be listed with the &quot;add to cart&quot; link next  to each combination. At least one option has to be set as required, otherwise  it will be possible to add the product to the shopping cart without specifying  any combination.</li>
</ul>
<p>The  toolbar of the tab contains the following buttons:</p>
<ul>
    <li>New option - opens the add  option form</li>
    <li>Edit - opens the edit form for the  selected option</li>
    <li>Delete - deletes the selected  options after a confirmation. Note, that option combinations should be revised  after deleting an option.</li>
    <li>Move up, Move down - adjusts  the priority of the selected options. The options are listed on the front end  according to the priority.</li>
