Subset feature is a powerful functionality that allows to share same characteristics for different purposes. For example lots of colours and sizes can be created for different products:

• Colour:
  • Green
  • Grey
  • White
  • Blue
  • Yellow
  • Red
  • Orange

But finally you have different products, for example t-shirts and pants:Subsets:

• Pants
  • Green
  • White
  • Grey
  • Blue
• t-shirts
  • Green
  • White
  • Orange
  • Blue

The aim of this feature is to avoid having duplicate values (blue, blue, green, green) because of different purposes. With this subset when selecting a product that is a pant, for example, instead of selecting the characteristic Colour you select the subset Pants. This way instead of retrieving seven values it will retrieve just four. The necessary ones when creating the variants Another advantage of doing like this is when searching for variants instead of having blue two times (and you wouldn't know if the blue is for pants or t-shirts), you will have blue one time. So when searching for variants that have the characteristics Blue the system will retrieve pants and t-shirts
