About this task
A configurable product action is a type of product action that, when its condition evaluates to true, creates a child configuration using the specified blueprint. Each configurable product action adds one child configuration. To add multiple child configurations from a single rule, add multiple configurable product actions to that rule.
Procedure
Result
When the condition is met during a buyer's configuration session, a child configuration using the specified blueprint is added to the solution. The solution navigation sidebar appears in the buyer's session when the first child configuration is added.

What to do next
After creating a configurable product action:
- To pass field values from the parent blueprint to the child, see Define field mappings for a solution configuration.
- To test the action, launch the product in the quoting application and verify that the child configuration is created. See Launch a solution.
