The Product Configurator Module

The Configurator has been conceived to be easy to use like a printed catalog, containing technical data and images (pictures or drawings) of the product. For this reason it has been structured by pages, where pages are opened for any specific group of options and each option can have extended technical description and images.

The predefined answers to a configuration question are easily selected opening the associated combo list. Where the answers are better explained by images, the combo list allows the selection by images.

You can display for each option the associated image, clicking the Image icon. You can consult for each option the associated technical description, clicking the Clipped Note icon.

You can add your own remarks for each option or question.

You can force, if permitted, the single option price.

The configuration process is simplified at the most, showing only those questions and options, which must be selected by the Salesman. All other components, required to determine the price and to give Production Department its unit build list, are automatically selected, kept not visible to the user.

The main feature, that makes very easy the use of the Configurator, is the possibility to page freely back and forward without loosing the selections already done. Consistency between selections is assured by a Check function, which can be activated at any moment during the configuration.

Configurator Design :

The main target in developing the tool to design the Configurator was to make easy to write rules and page layouts.

You define your own questions and answers entering them into the Parameter Table. In this table answers can be represented by images. Values of answers can be obtained automatically from multi-dimensional array tables.

Every option or question in the page can be conditioned by rules, which may make reference to other options or answers to questions or results of math formulas.
