Documentation
Definition
The value domain of restrictable characteristics will be confined according to the value combinations given in a variant table.
Use
Choose Value Restriction if you want to reduce the choice for certain product options. Typically this depends on which other options the user selects during interactive configuration. This may be the case when you are modeling a product whose options do only work in certain combinations.
Prerequisites
This constraint can only be applied to restrictable characteristics.
Provide the allowed value combinations in a variant table. If the wizard cannot find such a variant table, you will be asked to create one. The content of the table can be maintained independently from the wizard.
Example
Take for example the configurable material Shirt. Amongst others the model has got the following restrictable characteristics:
Color: red, blue, green
Size: small, medium, big
You want to allow red shirts only with sizes big, medium and blue shirts with sizes small, medium. Ergo list the allowed value combinations in a variant table:
Color Size
Red Big
Red Medium
Blue Medium
Blue Small
With this table you can apply the intended value restriction to the Shirt.
