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. As a consequence, each corresponding Answer Option can only be attached to one or multiple values from the selected data attribute.
If no product attribute was chosen in the combobox "Connect Question with Product Attribute", it is not possible to bind Answer Options of this question to a product attribute value. |
Make sure the advisor concept contains the Question "What is your gender?" and the corresponding Answer Options "male", "female" and "child".
Furthermore your uploaded product data file contains the product attribute "gender" with the following data attribute values "man", "woman" and "kid".
After building the Example Question and uploading the Product Data File the Question have to be connected to a product data attribute:
Afterwards you are able to connect each Answer Option with one or more values from the attribute "Gender".
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. |
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. |
The Answer Option "male" is now bound to the product attribute value "man". That means that all products with the product value "man" in the attribute "gender" will be matched if the end-user chooses the Answer Option "male" in the live Product Guide.
