Documentation

Definition

Characteristic values are derived utilizing the valuation of other characteristics. The derivations are based on variant tables combining both, the determining characteristic values and those who are determined.

There are three use cases to apply value derivations:

Value Derivation for a Target Characteristic

Value Derivation from a Guiding Characteristic

Selective Value Derivation

For more information and examples follow the links or refer to the respective F1 Help.

Use

Choose value derivations if you want characteristics to be automatically valuated once the user selects certain values of other characteristics during interactive configuration.
