Elements and field types
A configurator consists of elements that you assemble into a form in the Elements tab. There are three groups: input fields (produce a value), design elements (display only) and structure elements (organise the layout). Structure elements are described separately under Layout & repeaters.
Version note: The input fields are available in every version. Design and structure elements are part of the Premium version – in other versions they are shown in the type selection but disabled (see Advanced & Premium version).
Common settings
Many fields share the same settings:
Label: the displayed field name (translatable).
Technical identifier: a unique key per configurator (e.g.
colour). The value is stored under this name and can be addressed in formulas asfields.colour.Placeholder: grey hint text in the empty field (translatable).
Required field: enforces an entry before adding to the cart.
CSS class: additional classes for custom styling.
Status: Active, Disabled (visible, not operable), Read-only or Hidden.
Show in configurator / Show in checkout: controls whether the field appears in the form or in the cart overview.
In addition, every field has a Conditions tab (see Conditional visibility) and – for suitable types – an Info section for a help popover (text, image or video).
Input fields
Text field
Single-line text, e.g. for names or engraving texts.
Number
Numeric input with optional minimum, maximum and step.
Multiline text
Larger text field for longer entries.
Select list (dropdown)
Single choice from several options. Supports colour/image swatches.
Checkbox group
Multiple choice – the customer can tick several options.
Radio buttons
Single choice as a button/dot list.
Toggle
On/off choice (yes/no).
Slider
Value selection via slider with minimum, maximum and step.
Date
Date selection with optional min/max date.
Text field with e-mail validation.
Phone
Text field with phone number validation.
Interim result
Not an input field, but a calculated display value (e.g. "Area: 1.50 m²") that updates live. It is filled via a formula.
Select lists, checkbox groups and radio buttons have an option editor – more about this under Options & swatches.
Design elements
These elements produce no value but structure and explain the form:
Heading
Highlights a section.
Divider
A horizontal line between areas.
Spacer
Adds vertical empty space.
Rich text
Freely formatted HTML content (editor).
Explanation
A formatted hint block.
Notice: success / info / warning / error
Coloured notice boxes (green, blue, orange, red) for important messages.
The info popover
For many input fields you can add extra information in the Info tab – as text, image or video (YouTube/Vimeo, privacy-friendly embedding). The position is selectable, e.g. below the label, left/right of the field or as an info icon that opens a small window. This way you provide guidance without overloading the form.
Tip: Keep labels short and use the info popover for explanations. This keeps your form tidy and reduces questions.
