Question Type Maintenance
To help the customer select the preferred configuration, provide the customer with a list of questions and potential answers. When the customer has completed this questionnaire, QAD Configurator can create a product variant.
To help organize a configuration model, questions in the QAD Configurator Questionnaire can be categorized into Question Types.
Example: Suppose that defining a variant requires that an engineer to answer some questions. But the questions on the questionnaire are for customers. If you do not want a question on the questionnaire, you can define the question as a background question. So you can define the questions for the engineer as background questions. Furthermore, to make the purpose of the background questions clear, you would define a question type Special and attach these background questions to it. For example, questions of type Special are for the engineer.
