Variant comparisons
What differs between the variants in a family, compiled from your material instead of from six open drawings.
How you work it in Colleag
- 1
Ask: what differs between the variants in the family?
- 2
The colleague reads drawings, BOMs and specs for every variant.
- 3
Review the comparison: dimensions, materials and articles side by side.
- 4
Save as a document or use it directly in the customer answer.
A worked example
“What separates the six variants in the 4400 family?”
A table per variant: deviating dimensions, materials, included articles and which documents are variant-specific. Differences that exist only in the drawing and not in the spec are flagged.
Screenshot from Colleag. The example uses invented figures.
The material
- The variants' drawings and specs
- The BOMs per variant
- Article data from the business system
You approve
Everything the colleague produces is a proposal with sources. Nothing is published, sent or saved to the archive without a human approving it, and every figure traces to its material.
