When adding a new application for a product, PDM will color code available Subconfigurations (i.e., sub-models) based on selected Make, Model, and Year / Year range.
Select a year or click and drag over a range of years. The submodel options are now color-coded: Green indicates the sub-model is valid for the entire selected year range. IOrange indicates the sub-model is valid for the sub-selection of the selected year range. Red indicates the sub-model is not valid for any of the selected year ranges.
7. Color-coding also applies to sub-configurations. For example,suppose you choosethe Non-ABSoption (coded I Orange > partially valid). In that case, the Year column will re-color-code itself to indicate for which specific years this sub-configuration is valid (valid only 1995-1998).
8. Color-coding information is saved in the Application record.
