Clone a hardware item to add a new part
Add a hardware item that is not in the library by cloning a similar one and adjusting the clone.
To add a new accessory such as a basket or SS trolley, clone a similar existing item.
Change only the cloned item's name, brand and pricing.
Supply a clear item name and article number.
Attach a display image.
Hardware items such as tandem boxes, wire baskets, tall units, bottle pull-outs, hinges, channels and lift-up units are each created as a 3D-model SKU with a display image.
A similar-looking existing model can be cloned, renamed, given different sizes and then priced.
To add a hardware item that is not already in the library, clone a similar existing hardware item and then edit the clone's dimensions and additional properties to match the required part, instead of creating the part from scratch.
For hardware specifically, cloning an existing SKU of the same type is the recommended way to add a new hardware item.
When a needed SKU already exists in the default catalogue or under another brand as a similar model, download that entry and edit it — change its name, details and display picture — rather than building the SKU from scratch.
Clone the closest match, then rename it and change its display picture.
If a required product is missing from the warehouse, clone an existing default SKU of the same type, rename the clone to the required product name, and then adjust its properties so the catalogue carries the product without waiting for it to be added to the warehouse.
