Key Steps
1. Identify the cut type and open the option editor 0:11
Determine whether the cut should be a multi-choice cut or an either-or cut.
Use multi-choice when customers should be able to select multiple listed cuts.
Use either-or when customers must choose one option that controls which cuts are available.
Open the cut, then select Edit and go to Options to begin making changes.
2. Update option labels and assign the correct cuts 0:41
Review the option labels first; these are the names customers see, not the cuts themselves.
Remove any option labels you do not need.
Rename or keep labels so they clearly describe the choice, such as:
Boneless Rib
Bone-in Rib
Under each option, assign the cuts that should be included when that option is selected.
Example setup:
Boneless Rib → Rib Eye, Rib Roast (boneless)
Grind Rib Roast → leave cuts unselected if the item is being ground
Save your changes after assigning the cuts.
3. Add any missing cuts to the catalog before linking them 1:41
If a needed cut does not exist yet, create it first in the correct section.
Select New Cut and enter the cut name, such as Bone-in Rib Roast.
Add the cut to the correct primal or section.
If available, use Choose from Library to add the description and picture.
Save the new cut before returning to the Cutsheet builder.
4. Link the new cut to the correct option in the builder 2:02
Return to the Cutsheet builder and drag the new cut from the catalog into the correct option.
Place it under the matching option label, such as Bone-in Rib.
Add a clear customer-facing description explaining the choice.
Example description:
You must select boneless or bone-in, but you are able to select steaks or roast once you make your decision.
This helps customers understand what they are selecting and what will be available afterward.
5. Decide whether customers can select cuts within the option 2:34
Check the box that allows customers to select cuts within the option if you want them to choose individual cuts separately.
Leave the box unchecked if all cuts in that option should be selected together automatically.
Use this setting to control whether customers can pick one cut, multiple cuts, or must accept the full grouped selection.
Confirm the behavior matches the intended ordering process before saving.
6. Duplicate and adjust the setup for the alternate option 3:03
Copy the completed option setup to create the alternate choice.
Update the labels and cut names to match the second option.
Example:
Change Boneless to Bone-in
Change Rib Eye Steaks to Rib Steaks if that is the bone-in equivalent
Save the updated option so both choices are available in the Cutsheet.
7. Verify the final customer experience in the Cutsheet 3:18
Open the Cutsheet as a customer would see it.
Confirm both options appear correctly, such as Boneless Rib and Bone-in Rib.
Test selecting one option and verify the correct cuts appear.
Confirm the opposite option becomes unavailable or unselected as expected.
Check the advanced view/end-of-sheet behavior to ensure selections remain consistent.
Make sure customers cannot select conflicting options at the same time.
Cautionary Notes
Do not confuse option labels with the actual cuts; labels are customer-facing names, while cuts are the items assigned underneath.
Add missing cuts to the catalog before trying to assign them in the builder.
Be careful when using the select cuts within setting, since it changes whether cuts are chosen individually or grouped automatically.
Always test the final setup after saving to confirm the customer experience matches the intended logic.
Avoid leaving incorrect cuts assigned to an option, especially when creating boneless vs. bone-in variations.
Tips for Efficiency
Copy an existing option setup when creating a similar one to save time.
Use clear, simple labels so customers can quickly understand the difference between choices.
Add descriptions that explain the decision first, then the available cuts.
Save after each major change to avoid losing work.
Verify the setup in the live or preview view before publishing changes.
