General attributes

General attributes are "wrapper" attributes of the group itself.

Offer component group type

Group type determines (together with single/multiple option selection) the selection logic of the group and, consequently, also its visual representation. See the Component groups topic for more information.

  • Optional component group - a group from which one or more options can (but do not have to) be selected.

  • Mandatory component group with options - a group from which one or more options can be selected, with at least one selection mandatory.

  • Fixed component group - a special group listing options automatically included in the offer. The options cannot be selected or deselected by the end user.

Internal name

Internal name of the configuration element used as element identification in the fulfillment process. Must be unique within the offer. Invisible to the end user.

Note that internal name can consist only of the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _ and -

Label

Group label displayed to the end user.

Visible

Visibility flag. Set to Yes to make the group visible to the end user. Relevant only for Optional component group.

Visibility and mandatory rules

Use this section to create and administer rules which define how visibility of the component group depends on other elements in the offer.

  • Rule creation

    Click the Create rule button to open a dialog for creation of a new visibility rule. Creation of a rule entails selecting a trigger parameter, specifying the parameter's triggering value (true/false) or state (empty/not empty) and specifying the target visibility of the option group.

  • Rules administration

    If one or more visibility rules exist for the option group, they are listed in the Visibility and mandatory rules section. in the list you can:

    • Click the rule name to open the rule for editing

    • Reorder existing rules by dragging the reorder icons on the right of the list

    • Delete individual rules using the deletion icons on the right of the list

See the Conditional visibility of elements topic for detailed information and examples of use.

Offer components
