Configurator questions and Notes

 

Identify four correct statements with regard to setting up User Interfaces (UI’s) for configurator models.[BC05] 

A. UI Components such as UI Metadata, UI templates, UI template maps etc. can be set up only in dynamically generated UI’s at run time.

B. UI of one model cannot be shared with other models

C. UI can be integrated with the UIs of hosting application

D. The shell template for a UI determine the visual layout of the control templates or elements within a layout region

E. Each UI can have one or more layout templates per page

F. Generating an UI is an optional part of model definition

H. After you create the UI, you can change the UI template map by changing the status to "Draft"

Answer: B, C, E, F


While testing the user interfaces of a configurator model, you notice that the set & sequence of User Interface pages, the navigation style, default UI controls is not allowing you to locate & configure the most important elements of the model easily & efficiently. You decide to go ahead with customizing the UI’s. Identify the 4 correct type of changes that you can bring in by customizing the User Interfaces (UI’s)

A. Change the location of generated UI items

B. Customize the configuration summary pages

C. Add model nodes to the UI

D. Change the UI template map that you selected when creating the UI

E. Add non-model UI elements that enhance the appearance of the UI

F. Change the node represented by particular UI items

G. Control the visibility of UI elements

Answer: A, C, E, G

 Identify 3 different Types of available Navigation used in building UI on configurator 

A. Single Page Navigation 

B. Step By Step Navigation 

c. Dynamic Tree Navigation 

D. Train Navigation 

E. Simple Standard Navigation 


  A global Power Systems manufacturer sells Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) products through its online portal. To gain competitive advantage, the manufacturer wants to enhance the ability of buyers to select a desired configuration of the high-end UPS models through guided selling options on its online selling portal. The company’s product development team has finalized the enhancements and needs your help to get them implemented on their online selling portal that is supported by Oracle Cloud Configurator.

What four actions would you take in Oracle Cloud Configurator to enhance a buyer’s experience? (Choose four.)

a)      A.You can allow buyers to raise requests if an expected product functionality is not offered.

b)   B.  You can create enhancements to the model structure that supplements the imported configurable structure of a model item.

c)    C.  You can create rules that will guide users in creating a valid model.

d)    D. You can create user interfaces that will be dynamically presented to users based on the options chosen in the Configurator model.

e)    E.  You can test the behavior of the configured model anytime when you are editing it.

f)     F.  You can enable a checkout option for a model when a valid configuration is finalized.

g)     G.You can display product reviews of customers who have purchased the same configuration earlier.


Which two statements are true about the functional capabilities of Oracle Cloud Configurator? (Choose two.)

a)      For users who do not have access to Oracle Fusion Product Hub, Oracle provides an alternative option to create models directly in the workspace area.

b)     Only the optional structure and attributes of a Product Item are imported from Product Hub to Configurator and not the mandatory elements because they cannot be configured by an end user.

c)      Multiple drafts of the same model can be modified at the same time, but they must be in different workspaces.

d)     The user interface pages are tightly connected to the model. You cannot add, delete, or reorder pages without affecting the model structure.




Some Key points on the configurator

SnapShot has no versions.

Snapshot status as Released, Modified  

Refresh a snapshot, any updated data potentially affects every configurator model that's based on that snapshot

Workspace 

Work space will have status as Draft and have a verision

Status of Workspace : 

Draft

In development 

Released 

Supplemental Structure

Add more complexity and choices to your configured item than what you have set up in Product Information

A supplement structure has different features. Add one now.

◦ On the Edit Configurator Model page, in the Structure Hierarchy area, click the root.

You can add a supplemental structure only on the root of an item-based structure.

◦ Click Actions > Create

You create rules by entering statements in the Constraint Definition Language (CDL) in the rules editor

Each rule has a class, which indicates how the rule is to be enforced during the configuration process. The rule classes

are:

• Constraint

• Default

• Search Decision

Model User Interfaces

The user interface (UI) of a configurator model is what the end user sees and interacts with to configure the product

represented by the model.

UIs consist of:

◦ UI metadata that represents the model structure in terms of pages, regions, and items, and inter-page

navigation..

◦ UI templates that contain the visual content for the UI.

◦ UI template maps that map model node types to UI templates

The user interface (UI) of a configurator model is what the end user sees and interacts with to configure the product

represented by the model.

• UIs let users select options of the model by presenting controls based on the model structure.

• UIs can be dynamically generated at run time, or explicitly generated and saved. Explicitly generated UIs can be

modified to suit your requirements.

• A configurator model can have multiple UIs, applied to suit varying styles of end user interaction.

• UIs that you create for a model are part of the definition of that model version, like supplemental structure and

configurator rules. UIs can't be shared with other models. The use of UI templates enables you to provide a

consistent user experience among your models.

• Each UI uses one of a set of predefined navigation styles to enhance the end user experience.

• UIs can be integrated with the UI of a hosting application.

• UIs consist of:

◦ UI metadata that represents the model structure in terms of pages, regions, and items, and inter-page

navigation..

◦ UI templates that contain the visual content for the UI.

◦ UI template maps that map model node types to UI templates


To modify a UI, you can:

• Change the location of generated UI items

• Add model nodes to the UI

• Add basic UI elements that enhance the appearance of the UI

• Control the visibility of UI elements

The Single Page Navigation UI template map governs the default UI. This choice is predefined. You can't select
a different UI to be the default UI.

UI template maps determine the navigation style between the UI pages that represent major components of a
configurator model. You see a template map when creating a UI. The available navigation styles are:
• Single Page Navigation :The Single Page navigation style collects all the configurable options of a model onto a single page. If a model has
reference models, the user can drill down into the UI for the reference model by clicking the Configure control on the
reference to the reference model.

• Dynamic Tree Navigation :The Dynamic Tree navigation style allows end users to navigate to a specific UI page by using the tree links that are
displayed in the left pane. When the UI is created, each of these tree links is created as a page.


• Step by Step Navigation:The Step by Step navigation style allows end users to navigate to a specific step by using a series of linked UI train stops
that are displayed at the top of the page. When the UI is created, each of these tree links is created as a page.
