Understanding Rule Types

There are two kinds of rules:

Type	What is does	Customer experience
Incompatible	Prevents two or more items from being selected together.	If the customer selects Item A, Item B is grayed out with a warning message.
Requires	Forces one or more item(s) to be selected whenever another is selected.	If the customer selects Item A, Item B is automatically added to the configuration.

Example — Incompatible: A red frame and a blue motor cannot be used together. If a customer picks the red frame, the blue motor becomes unavailable.

Example — Requires: A premium motor requires a heavy-duty controller. If a customer picks the premium motor, the heavy-duty controller is automatically selected (you can also set how many are needed).
