# How to Create Variant Types

To create variant types, follow these steps:

1. **Log in to the ikas Dashboard:**
   
   Sign in to your ikas dashboard.
2. **Access Variant Types:**
   
   In the left menu, click on **Products > Definitions** and select **Variant Types**.
3. **Create a New Variant Type:**
   
   Click on the **Add New Variant Type** button.
   
     - A new window will appear on the right side where you can name the **variant type**. For example: 
           - **Colors** (for Yellow, Blue, Red)
           - **Sizes** (for S, M, L)
           - **Diameter** (for 10 cm, 20 cm)
     - **Choose Style:** Select how the variants should be displayed: 
           - **List:** The variants will appear as a simple list. For example: 
                   - Sizes: S, M, L
                   - Colors: Yellow, Blue, Red
           - **Color / Image:** The variants will be displayed with colors or images. Example: The colors Yellow, Blue, and Red could appear as color blocks or images.
     - **Enter Variants:** Now enter the individual variants (e.g., S, M, L or Yellow, Blue) confirm each with **Enter**. They will then appear in the list below.
     - If the **Color/Image** option is selected, a **gray field** will appear next to each variant. Here you can: 
           - **Manually select a color,**
           - Enter the **HEX value** of the color,
           - Or upload an **image**.
     - **Sort Variants:** 
           - You can sort the variants via **drag-and-drop**.
           - Use the icons on the right to **edit** or **delete** variants.
     - **Save**: Don’t forget to save the created variant type.

> **Important**: Variant types are managed here in general. However, they need to be selected and activated in the relevant products. It’s not necessary to use the same variant types and values in all products. For each product, you can keep the desired variants and remove unwanted ones. Removed variants will remain in the variant type.
> 
> **Info:** Changing the variant order under "Definitions" does **not** affect the product pages. The order must be updated via Excel or directly on the product detail page.
