Version Context

The Version Context feature allows a user to create a special version of a product that contains specific information intended for certain targets or channels.

Description:
  • This feature helps create various versions (varying according to the tags) of a product.
  • This feature creates clones of an original product and helps a user to run a promotional campaign on a specific version (or few versions) of a product.

Application:

  • The Version Context can create a product version that is limited to a seasonal campaign or promotion.

  • Example:

    Retailer ‘A’ wants to run a promotion on the mobile phone’s 64 GB variant during Christmas (that will only run for that holiday season). The retailer will create a variant of the original product through the feature, Version Context and will have a time-bound campaign running for that version.
