Configure Parameter Binding Properties

You can bind a parameter in the offer or bundle associated with a catalog item to a constant value or a catalog item parameter. The constant value or catalog item parameter value is passed to the offer or bundle parameter and used during rating instead of its default value.

About this task

You can configure an offer or a bundle parameter to bind with the following:
  • Constant — Use the specified numeric constant value for the parameter during rating.
  • Default — Use the default parameter binding during rating.
    Note: MATRIXX creates default bindings between the parameters in the offer or bundle associated with a catalog item and catalog parameters with the same names. The default binding parameters are added to the list of catalog parameters, and the default bindings are listed in the offer or bundle parameters binding panel.
  • Parameter — Use the value assigned to the selected parent parameter (catalog item parameter) during rating.

Procedure

  1. In Edit Catalog Item, click the Parameters tab.
  2. To configure a binding for an offer parameter, in the Offer Parameters Binding table, click the name of the offer parameter.
  3. To configure a binding for a bundle parameter, in the Bundle Parameters Binding table, click the name of the bundle parameter.
  4. In Edit Parameter Binding:
    • To bind the parameter with a constant value, in Bind With, select Constant and in Constant Value, enter the value to use.
    • To bind the parameter with a catalog item parameter, in Bind With, select Parameter and in Catalog Item Parameter Name, select the required parameter. Both parameters must have the same data type.
    • To revert to the default parameter binding, click Default.
    Note: By default, Default is selected and the offer parameter or bundle parameter is bound to a catalog parameter with the same name.
  5. Click Save.
