Reconfiguring a Variant Specification
You can reconfigure a variant specification by specifying different filtering criteria and providing different inputs for the parameters during the Configure process. For more information on the Configure process, see Creating Variant Structures Using the Configure Process.

When reconfiguring a variant specification, the system uses the latest iteration of the configurable module only when Apply to top level object is selected; otherwise, it uses the part iteration associated with the variant specification.
