Overview: How do I create Dependent Attributes?
When configuring Attributes, you may have the need to show or hide an Attribute based on the value of a different Attribute. For example, if a customer selects Yes to a question, then you would show them an additional follow up question. If they select No, then they aren’t asked the follow up question.
Example
Dependent Attributes are useful for many different scenarios:
- After a Yes / No question to collect more information.
- Offer more choices after one choice has been made.
