How can I create a selection?

A selection is the most common input option offered to users in configurators. This allows users to choose between different options for a specific product feature. Examples are The size of a T-shirt, the type of handle on a wardrobe or the type of glass on a photovoltaic system.

K3 therefore also offers a range of options for selections.

Requirements​

  • You know that a feature of your product can be selected using several options.

  • Open the configurator editor.
  • If you have not already done so, create the first configuration step by clicking on
