# Admin-Dashboard

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](/en/plugins/product-configurator/admin-dashboard/elements-and-field-types.md).

### Products

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

{% hint style="info" %}
**Variants:** If you assign a main product, the configurator automatically applies to its variants as well.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

### 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](/en/plugins/product-configurator/admin-dashboard/formula.md) and [Price & cart](/en/plugins/product-configurator/storefront/pricing-and-cart.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.premsoft.de/en/plugins/product-configurator/admin-dashboard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
