Managing product option appearances across multiple product groups can be time-consuming when done individually. This guide shows you how to efficiently update option appearances in bulk using Grouptify's configuration feature.

1. When You Need This Feature

Imagine you have 1,000 different product groups, each using the "Color" option with Circle swatch appearance. If you decide to change all these options to Square swatch appearance, you would normally need to update each product group manually - a tedious and time-consuming process.

The bulk configuration feature eliminates this hassle by allowing you to update option appearances across all product groups simultaneously.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Access the Option Configuration Table

Navigate to the Option configs page and scroll down to find the Manage option config table. Select the Grouptify option from the available options.

The configuration table displays all options currently used across your product groups. Each row contains the following information:

• Option name: The name of the option you want to configure
• Impact: The number of product groups currently using this option
• Appearance on product page: How the option displays on the product detail page
• Appearance on product card: How the option displays on the product card

Step 3: Update Appearance Settings

Click on the dropdown menu in either appearance column to open the appearance picker modal. Select your preferred display method from the available options.

You can customize appearances for both:

• Product detail pages
• Product cards
  

Step 4: Save and Apply Changes

After making all necessary changes:

1. Click the Save button
2. Select "Yes, save and apply" when prompted
3. The system will automatically apply the new appearance settings to all affected product groups

3. Benefits of Bulk Configuration

• Time-saving: Update hundreds or thousands of product groups in seconds
• Consistency: Ensure uniform appearance across all product groups
• Efficiency: Eliminate repetitive manual updates
• Error reduction: Minimize mistakes from individual configurations

4. Best Practices

• Review the "Impact" column to understand how many product groups will be affected before making changes
• Test appearance changes on a few product groups first if you're unsure about the visual outcome
• Keep track of your changes for future reference

With this bulk configuration feature, managing option appearances across large product catalogs becomes a simple and efficient process.
