Viewing Similar Configurations
When you have completed or partially completed the questionnaire, you can view existing configurations that are similar to the configuration you have created so far. The system searches for similar configurations by filtering existing records using your answers as search criteria. If no answer is provided to a question, the corresponding feature is not used to compare configurations. If none of the questions are answered, all existing configurations associated with the current configurable item are considered similar configurations.
To use this feature, click the View Similar Configurations button in the Configuration Summary screen. A Similar Configurations window displays.

Your current configuration is displayed on the left of the screen with all the configurable item questions and the answers you have provided. On the right of the screen, all similar configurations with identical feature options to the answers you have answered are displayed in a comparison table.
