etc. It is also used to create a table
of comparable brands.

The following choices are available:
- Brand Only:
select if you sell the Brand’s products and will not be comparing your
own Brand’s products to it.

only be comparing your own Brand’s products to it. Use to define competitor brands.

you may offer both brand name products and a generic brand and may want
to allow customers to compare your generic brand with the brand names.

removing it as a selection from lookup list boxes.
