The following table shows the synergy of the Answer Option types and the product attributes. The product attribute types are selectable in the Data Attributes Table in the product data view.
This table reveals that not every combination is possible.
Answer Option Type | Where Range Selectable can be used: | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Text | Ordered | Continuous Numeric | Boolean | ||
Product Attribute Type | |||||
Text |
(except Ordered ) | ||||

Like the product attribute types the Answer Option Data Binding types also effects the Answer option types. The following table shows the possible and disallow combinations.
Note: Only the "Simple Mapping" is also effected by the product attribute types. That is why the corresponding row is devided due to the selected product attribute type.
Answer Option Types | Where Range Selectable can be used: | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Text | Ordered | Continuous Numeric | Boolean | ||
Answer Option Data Binding | |||||
Simple | Text / Boolean Number | (except Ordered or Number ) | |||
Expression | (except Ordered ) | ||||
Automatic | (except Ordered ) |
Not possbile combinations:
Unlike the four previously mentioned Answer Option Types, the parameter "Range selectable" is not an Answer Option Type. Instead, it is an additional option for the product attribute types "Ordered" and "Continuous numeric". Remember that both types contain values that have a natural or defined order. That's why this option enables the possibility of selecting a range of values within the related product attribute. Range Selectable Questions are presented with a slider in the user interface.
