Perspective Variant

The Perspective Variant feature allows the user to link several related images to a single article to give the different angle view of the product.

Key Term:	DAM: (Digital Asset Management) offers a solution for enterprises to store, organize, find and retrieve digital files. Digital files in the DAM are linked to the PIM through relationships.
Description:	This feature will let the user link several related images to a single article so as to give the right impression of the product’s height, width, depth and information, if any.
Related topics:	Resolution Variant
Application:	This feature is useful for presenting the product in various perspectives so that the customer will know the product better before making a purchase. Example: A retailer selling dog food would add several images (front side, back side and side display) to the main product image so as to give the customer a better and thorough impression of the product. The back-side image often contains important information, such as ingredients, thus helping the customer purchase the appropriate product.
