What is
...
a Simple Mapping?
...
The "Simple Mapping" is one of three possible Types of Answer Option Data Binding. With this binding type, a Question is connected to exactly one product attribute - a. As a consequence, each corresponding Answer Option can only be attached to one or multiple values from the selected data attribute.

We assume that the Advisor Concept advisor concept contains the Question "What is your gender?" and the corresponding Answer Options "male", "female" and "child".
...
- Click on the Question label which opens the question properties dialog.
- Go to the "Data Binding and Connections" tab.
- Choose "Simple" in the "Answer Option Data Binding" combobox.
- Select the attribute "gender" in the "Connect Question with Product Attribute" combobxcombobox.
- Now the Question is bound to the attribute "gender" and all Answer Options of this Question can be connected to its values.
...
- Click on the Answer Option label, e.g. on "male". The Answer Option properties dialog is shown.
- Go to the "Data Binding and Connections" tab.
- Choose the attribute value "man" in the "Attach Answer Option to these product values" combobox.
- A token named "man" occures occurs in the dialog. This signals that now the Answer Option "male" is connected to the attribute value "man".
- You can repeat this step for connecting the last step and connect more values to this Answer Option if you want.
All resulting expressions will technically be interpreted as disjunctions: "gender = man OR gender = male OR ..." Note:
The same steps can be done for the Answer Options "female" and "kid".

Every binding you have created is visualized with a token (see "man" in yellow highlighting in the screenshot below). Clicking on the "X" icon from a token removes the data binding. |
The same steps can be done for the Answer Options "female" and "kid".

Before binding an Answer Option to a data attribute value with Simple Mapping, you need to attach the Question to a data attribute first (see red warning "Please set an attribute here >>" in the screenshot below). The warning text is clickable and directs you to the Question "Data Binding and Connections" tab. |
