In certain circumstances you may wish to alter details such as Contact person or Delivery address on a selected Alternative instead of on the whole project. You can do this by accessing the Alternative properties.
Note: It is only in special circumstances that you need to edit the details per alternative. Usually the information that is saved for the project will also be correct for the alternatives and for this reason you don’t need to make any alterations in this menu option. If you do not enter anything in these fields, Winner will retrieve the details from the project’s setup instead.
