You can also block page navigation if selections are missing. Enable/disable this in the product at ‘Display in configurator’.
Rules
Rules enable you to show and/or hide questions and answers in the configurator under specific conditions. For more about rules go to “Compatibility Rules” of user manual.
For 4 types of the questions you can predefine the answers.
Example: We are setting up 2 questions for Configurator page 1 of Product 1. Question 1 is “ Text box” and Question 2 is “ Radio buttons” with predefined answers: Option A and Option B.

Each question can have an extra information or description in case there is needed some explanation to the question. Creating a question go to “ Description” → choose where this information should be displayed and → add text.

Each answer to the question can have an image - as soon customer picks this answer then product visualization will change to selected choice. In order to do so - you have to define stack of images. Buy multiple questions and answers with images the system stacks the images of selected answers together. (creating a stack of images - see - Composite Image).
