## Summary of Using the CPQ Configurator

The CPQ Configurator enables agents and customers to dynamically customize configurable products within Sales Customer Relationship Management (CSM) transactions such as opportunities, quotes, and orders.
It simplifies product configuration by presenting relevant features and options without requiring deep product structure knowledge.
Agents access the configurator via the CSM Configurable Workspace, while customers use it through the Business Portal for self-service.
Note that the CPQ Configurator is available only if implemented in your organization; otherwise, the legacy product configurator is used.

## Key Features

* **Products in the bundle:** Displays all products making up the configurable bundle, allowing selection to view their features and options.
* **Option selections:** Shows product attributes and features, including characteristics and options, along with fields to enter relevant product details.
* **Quantity:** Allows specifying the desired number of products.
* **Shopping cart:** Reflects current selections and dynamically calculates pricing. Users can reposition the shopping cart within the layout using the Gear icon and dock it with the Pin icon for convenience.
* **Completion icons:** Visual indicators show the configuration status---checkmark for completed required entries and attention icon for missing required data, with guidance on locating and resolving issues.

## How to Use

When adding customizable products to CSM transactions, selecting a configurable product from the catalog automatically launches the CPQ Configurator interface. This interface guides agents and customers through configuring product bundles, selecting options, entering quantities, and reviewing pricing to complete the customization efficiently.  
Agents and customers use the CPQ Configurator to customize configurable products in Sales Customer Relationship Management transactions such as opportunities, quotes, and orders.

## CPQ Configurator overview {#using-servicenowcpq__cf-using-parent-workflow}

With the CPQ Configurator, agents and customers can configure offerings dynamically based on customer needs or product attributes, without having extensive knowledge of product structures and hierarchies. Agents use the configurator in the CSM Configurable Workspace, while customers use the configurator in the Business Portal for self-service transactions.  
Note:  
The CPQ Configurator is available if it's been implemented in your organization. Otherwise, the [legacy product configurator](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/tHvfu1eLSlQY30ccZnByUA "The legacy product configurator in Sales Customer Relationship Management is an interface for customizing configurable product offers. The interface displays the product options available and automatically calculates product pricing as you select options.") is available for customizing configurable products.  
Figure 1. CPQ Configurator in CSM Configurable Workspace and Business Portal

When adding products to Sales Customer Relationship Management transactions, agents and customers select a customizable product offering from the product catalog, which automatically launches the configurator. The configurator displays the
available features and options that can be selected for the product.  
Figure 2. CPQ Configurator interface  
The CPQ Configurator interface has the following features:{#using-servicenowcpq__table_ftl_n4q_ygc__entry__2}
