To add choices:
1. Go to the information page of the option set and click the Structure tab.
2. Click the toolbar action . The Manage Choices window opens.
3. By default, the Context field shows the current context. You can add choices from the options defined in another context by searching for and selecting that context.
4. Select the tab for the type of options to select from: design or sales.
5. The table lists the options from the option pool of the selected context. For each option, the associated choices appear in the Choices column. You can filter the table by selecting Options with Choices Selected and Options without Choices Selected from the pull-down list at the top of the table. Alternatively, you can view all options available.
