Abstract
A system, method and medium for configuring an item such as a machine having multiple optional components is provided. This is accomplished using 'options,' which correspond to the optional components of the machine, and are selected by a user according to those optional components that the user desires to have as part of the machine. Each option is envisioned to be created to contain the necessary properties (such as attributes and constraints) to appropriately configure the corresponding optional component within the machine. Embodiments of the present invention envision that the options can be arranged in a hierarchical option tree to help allow a user to better visualize the structure of the machine in making decisions concerning configuration.
