The module Catalogues › Product Configurator is your control centre. Here you create configurators, build their forms and assign them to products.

The overview list

The module's start page shows all existing configurators with name, status (active/inactive), number of fields and number of assigned products. Use Create configurator to create a new one.

The detail page

A configurator is divided into several tabs.

General

• Name: internal label of the configurator.

• Active: Only active configurators are shown in the shop. This lets you prepare a configurator in peace and go live with it later.

Elements

The heart of it all. On the left is the element tree, on the right the settings panel of the selected element.

• Add element: Adds a new element. You can nest elements inside one another (e.g. place fields into a group).

• Drag & drop: Drag elements to change their order or nesting.

• Delete: Removes an element (with a confirmation prompt).

Which element types exist and what they can do is described under Elements & field types.

Products

Here you assign one or more products to the configurator. Search for the product and add it.

Variants: If you assign a main product, the configurator automatically applies to its variants as well.

Uniqueness: For each product, the most recently assigned active configurator applies. So assign only the one configurator you really want to show to a product.

Calculation

Here you enable the price- and dimension-effective formulas of the configurator – price, product number, width, height, length and weight. Details in the chapters The formula and Price & cart.
