What this does — Gives your product its configuration steps (pages) and the inputs on them (questions). After this, choice questions still need answers.

Before you start

• Sketch the flow on paper first: which steps, in which order, which inputs on each. Restructuring later works, but a five-minute sketch saves an hour of dragging.
• Create the product first.

Add a page

1. In Products, expand your product and add a page (or open an existing one).
2. Give it a Title per language (the step's tab label), an optional Description (intro text on the step), and keep Active on. Ordering controls the step sequence.
3. Save.

Add a question

1. Expand the page in the tree and add a question. The question form opens:

   

2. In General:

   • Title — per language; the question text customers see.
   • Does the question have to be answered? — Yes makes it required; combined with the product/global setting, customers can be blocked from continuing while it's unanswered.
   • How do you want to display the question? — the question type (see the table below). This choice decides which further sections the form shows.

3. Fill the type-specific settings (only the relevant ones appear — see the table).

4. Save. For choice-type questions, the Predefined Answers section is where you add the answers.

The question types

Type	Customer sees	Typical use
Radio buttons	one-of-N choices, all visible	short choice lists
Dropdown	one-of-N in a select box	long choice lists
Checkbox	a single on/off tick	include/exclude a feature
Clickable images	picture grid, single or multi select	visual choices (colors, designs)
Text box	a one-line input, optional unit suffix	names, dimensions, quantities
Multi-line text box	a larger text area	notes, engraving text
Slider	a draggable slider synced to a number field	dimensions within a range
Calendar	a date picker	delivery/booking dates
Color picker	a free color choice	custom colors
RAL color picker	the standardized RAL swatch catalog	industrial colors
File upload	drag-and-drop upload	customer artwork, documents
Choices + text field	predefined values plus a custom entry	"pick one or type your own"

Type-specific settings worth knowing:

• Text-style types (text box, slider, …): prefill a default value; restrict input (e.g. integers only); set minimum/maximum either as static values or calculated by a calculation (so a limit can depend on other selections); show a unit next to the field.
• Slider: the number of steps.
• Calendar: first day of week and how far into the past/future dates may lie.
• File upload: allowed extensions, allowed file kinds, maximum size.

What happens next

Pages and questions appear in the configurator immediately (for a displayed product). Questions on a page render in their Ordering; required ones gate navigation if blocking is enabled.

Good to know

• Internal Name — an admin-only label for the question, invaluable once a product has dozens of questions. Enable "show internal names" in Settings to see them across the back office.
• The Rule section on this form is where conditional visibility attaches — build a rule.
• The Calculations section is where computed pricing attaches — where prices come from.
• Show in Overview controls whether the question appears in the live price/selection summary beside the configurator.
• A question's Image and Description (with a display method: inline, tooltip …) add help content customers see with the question.
