Feature groups organise related features together and improve the overview for the customer. With Tab or Accordion mode you guide the customer through the configuration in a structured way.
What Are Feature Groups?
Instead of displaying all features at once, you group them thematically:
Without groups: Colour, Material, Width, Height, Drive, Motor power, Control, Mounting type (all at once)
With groups:
- Group 1: Dimensions (Width, Height)
- Group 2: Material & Colour (Material, Colour)
- Group 3: Drive (Drive, Motor power, Control)
- Group 4: Mounting (Mounting type)
Creating a Feature Group
- Open the component
- In the left panel choose the Feature Group tab
- Click Add group
- Give it a name (e.g. "Dimensions")
- Drag and drop features into the group
- Set the group order via drag and drop
Alternatively: in the Features tab you see the No groups note under STRUCTURE at the top — from there you can switch to the group view.
Choosing a Display Mode
Under Settings → General → DISPLAY you choose how groups are presented:
- No groups — all features at once, ungrouped
- Tabs — each group appears as its own tab, the customer clicks between tabs
- Accordion — groups can be expanded, the first group is open by default
Tabs are suitable for clearly separated configuration areas. Accordion is suitable when groups build on each other and should be filled in sequence.
Conditionally Showing Groups
Just like individual features, entire groups can be shown or hidden via the rule set. The rule is created in the Rules tab as a Blacklist rule — the group is selected as target instead of an individual feature.
Example:
- If Drive = Manual → hide group "Motor settings" (Blacklist)
Recommended Group Structure
For complex products a structure based on decision levels is recommended:
- Product type — determines which further groups are relevant
- Dimensions — enter measurements
- Material & Surface — depending on product type
- Equipment — optional extras
- Action Button — closing (request quote, buy etc.)
