FEATURES Element

Description

This element is used to define the features (FEATURE) and the associated options. Only the features needed for correctly mapping the catalogue are defined.

The combination of finish and colour is used for some features.

If this is the case, features must always be created in pairs. The corresponding colour feature exists for the respective finish option types; a corresponding finish feature exists for the colour feature.

Features declared as invisible features are not be referenced in a feature class.

All features in the FEATURES (path 3) element that are not declared as invisible head feature must be referenced in at least one feature class.

Further information about features can be found in the Introduction in section "features"

Overview

FEATURES

This element is used to define the features (FEATURE) and the associated options. Only the features needed for correctly mapping the catalogue are defined.

OPTIONS optional

It is a container element in which the possible variations of a feature are stored.
The element is omitted for resulting features (HEADER_POS_VARIATION_TYPE=V).

Sequence

OPTION 1..∞

This element is used to define the options for feature.All options necessary in the data pool are stored here. If the option to be created is a feature (introduction: table features identified by type A), no colour values or texture must be specified. The gloss and opaqueness can optionally be assigned to a feature and have priority over corresponding colour variations.

These elements VALID_FROM and VALID_UNTIL are used to define the modified validity periods of options.
If the validity periods have expired, the user of the planning system will be given a warning notice. Use of the option is continued for the planning. The following conditions apply for filling the elements
            Both elements filled: available for delivery in the resulting period.
            Both elements left blank: always available for delivery.
            Only the VALID_FROM element is filled: available from delivery from this date onwards.
            Only the VALID_UNTIL element is filled: only available for delivery until this date.
Elements with the designation VALID_FROM must not contain a date prior to the catalogue start date. Elements with the designation VALID_UNTIL must not contain a date that is more than 10 years in the future from the catalogue date. The element must be left blank for an indefinite period.

This element is an identifier that specifies whether a feature is an
I = implicit feature,
K = head option, or
P = position feature.

It serves the purpose of controlling the processing method on head or position level, features designated with a "P" must, according to the manufacturer, not be processed on head level.

Features designated with an "I" are visible and result implicitly from other features.

   D   string
   P   [IKP]
   M   [1:1]

FEATURE_TYPE

This element is used to identify the feature corresponding to the option. A feature can be assigned dimensional variations (value of FEATURE_T "M"), colour variations (value of FEATURE_T "C") or other features (value of FEATURE_T "O").

This attribute is used to define the options assigned to the feature.

M = dimensional versions

C = colour versions

O = other options

   D   string

   M   [1:1]

Sequence

MEASURE optional

If the options assigned to the feature are dimensional versions, the dimensional information is entered in this element.

They consist of a dimensional parameter, the unit of measure and can then, for example, be used in the formulas of the rules (DECISIONS).

Sequence

MEASURE_UNIT xs:string

This element is used to specify the unit of measure.

   M

MEASURE_PARAMETER optional Restriction of xs:string
