Settings and Configurable Options
Module allows you to set up values for default maximum of accounts for domain, default account size and default maximum of aliases for domain.
You can set up these settings through constant values or configurable options.
In 'Webmail Login Link' field you can set URL of the client area button, owing to which your customers can quickly log in to their Zimbra Email accounts.

We will show you how to use configurable options with Zimbra Email to make your orders more flexible.

You need to create new configurable option group. To do so click at 'Create a New Group'.
|
| Now enter your group name, choose assigned product and press 'Save Changes'.
|
| Afterwards press 'Add New Configurable Option'.
|
| Enter your option name which you will use in your product value configuration. Provide value for your new option. For example '100 MB' and press 'Save Changes' .
|
| Now enter your desired price for option '100 MB' , e.g. $5, enter your new option name, e.g. '200 MB' and press 'Save Changes' .
|
| When you are done with adding new options simply press 'Save Changes' and 'Close Window' .
|
| Afterwards at your product 'Module Settings' you need to add field 'SIZE' (because this is how we named our configurable option) to the value you need.
