[Gaurav69]

What is the use of visible elsewhere, visible on bundles, visible on Guides, and visible on summaries fields in the Availability section of variables in catalog item?

Hi,

Availability
Visible Elsewhere	If selected, the variable is visible in the item form before ordering the item, in VEditor after ordering the item, and in the cart view of the item.
Visible on Bundles	If selected, the variable is visible when the item is added to a bundle.
Visible on Guides	If selected, the variable is visible when it is added to an order guide, or when it is added to a catalog item that is included in the order guide. Note: If an order guide has too many items and variables, consider clearing this check box on as many items as possible, to improve loading performance on order guides.
Visible on Summaries	If selected, the variable is visible on any variable summarizer of the catalog item. In Service Portal, the variable is visible in the RITM ticket page and the Approval page. In Now Mobile, the variable is visible in the RITM and the Approval records.

Mark this as Helpful/Correct, if Applicable.

Regards,

Sourabh

It's worth of mentioning,

no runtime value is created for a variable which is Visible Elsewhere = false.

Just look into Variable Ownerships [sc_item_option_mtom], the table which links runtime variable values with their RITMs, and make sure yourself.
