block

A block represents a grouping property within the configurator. Further objects can be subordinated to this. A block is visible in the navigation area of the configurator. Click to display the subordinate objects, such as parameters or dropdown lists at run time in the detail area. In our Sofa example the blocks are Design, Size, Covering and Color, Legs and Accessory which contain Sofa-relevant parameters with check boxes or drop-downs.

Selection

A Selection object is always allocated to a higher-level parameter. A selection object is displayed as a check box. The higher-level parameter then assumes the value allocated to the selection object when the check box is activated. In our Sofa example we have several selection objects allocated to each parameter. In the image above we can see "Armchair", "Two-seater" and "Three-seater" selection blocks that are available – which appear as check boxes in the test screen.

Set object

A Set object is a variable to which any values or formulas can be allocated. If a sofa is being configured, a set object so_length could be declared and the formula [numberofseats]*0.9 stored (where numberofseats can be the Name of a parameter or another Set object ). This parameter thus acquires the content of numberofseats – i.e. the value 1,2 or 3 in the example – multiplied by 0, The system can access the content of the set object within the configurator. A calculation by a database query can also come here. For this, the definition/query in the set object must start with "[select" and end with "]". See image above.

 

e.g. [select "Price" from "ITM1" where "PriceList"='basic price list']

 

Any variables must also be specified in square brackets in the Select instruction.
