# Line-Item Variants
URL: https://docs.valsight.ai/line-item-variants/
Description: Line-Item variants can be understood as different variations of a single Line-Item and are implemented in the Scenario Manager.
Line-Item variants can be understood as different variations of a single Line-Item and are implemented in the Scenario Manager.

They allow you to simulate scenarios based on the same Line-Item but with each Line-Item variant having modifications in data.

The feature of Line-Item variants improves the clarity of the Scenario Manager and improves the usability of scenario simulations as it helps to group Line-Items.

> **Maximum Variants per Line Item**
>
> The amount of variants per Line-Item is configurable in the Valsight settings > Settings under 'System' and 'featureFlags.maxvariantsLimitForLineItems'.
>
> The default value is 20 variants per Line-Item.

## Using Line-Item variants

Line-Item variants are used in the Scenario Manager and can be created, edited, and deleted via the Line-Item settings.

To create a Line-Item variant:

1. Open the Line-Item a variant should be created for
2. Click on the plus on the right side of the window
3. Name your Line-Item variant
4. Deleting a Line-Item variant can be done via the drop-down next to the variants name

To change the Line-Item variant or deactivate the Line-Item for a scenario, navigate to the Line-Item drop-down menu. Select either another Line-Item variant or 'Inactive' in case you want to deactivate the Line-Item.

> **Deleting variants**
>
> When a variant is activated in the Scenario Manager but gets deleted, the Line-Item will be deactivated for that scenario.

## Duplicating & renaming Line-Item variants

Navigate to the variant's three-dot menu to find the duplicate button. You can then rename the variant directly.

Double-click a variant's name to rename it afterward.

**Example**

A variant can be used to simulate a scenario based on the same Line-Item but with for example slightly adjusted data.

## Line-Item configurations

Filters work on a Line-Item level. If you set a filter on a Line-Item, it applies to all variants of this Line-Item.

Reconfigurations (e.g. filters, nodes) impact all Line-Item variants.

When duplicating, sharing, or versioning a Line-Item, all variants are included.

More information regarding the versioning of assumptions and Line-Items with variants can be found under [Assumption Versioning](/assumption-versioning/).

Using sliders for Line-Items with more than one Line-Item variant is not possible. See [Sliders](/sliders/) to learn more.

> **Restrictions**
>
> The Effects, Before-After, and Impact column cannot be used when a Line-Item has more than one Line-Item variant.
