  • Learn how sets organize repeatable field groups, simplify complex configurations, and enable data aggregation across repeated elements in CPQ.

    A set is a reusable, repeatable collection of fields that lets administrators define multiple instances of similar configuration data—such as multiple products, components, or options—in a single blueprint.

    Each row in a set represents one instance of a repeated group of fields, and each field in that row behaves independently. sets streamline configuration design, reduce duplication, and support advanced use cases that require tabular or list-based inputs.

    Administrators use sets to present configuration options in structured, table-like layouts that customers can easily edit in the end-user interface.

    Sets are designed to:
    • Simplify repeatable configurations. Instead of creating multiple fields and rules for each repetition, define once and reuse many times.
    • Provide intuitive, tabular data entry. End users can add, remove, or edit multiple product instances in a structured grid.
    • Support dynamic rules. Rules can reference values in the same row or aggregate data across all rows.
    • Enable advanced reporting and summaries. Aggregates summarize field values across rows (for example, total quantity or total rack units).

    How sets work

    A set groups several configuration fields together and repeats that group for each item in the list.

    Each set row is fully independent:
    • Fields in the same row can affect other fields in that row.
    • Fields in one row cannot directly affect fields in another row.
    • Fields outside a set can influence fields inside it, but not vice versa.

    To affect fields outside a set, use:

    • Aggregates: Sum, count, average, maximum, or minimum values across all rows.
    • Product rules: Define logic that sets external field values based on set data.

    A set can contain up to 2,000 rows.

    Display options

    Sets can appear in the UI in several formats, depending on user experience requirements:

    Tabelle : 1. Display options for sets
    Display type Description Example use case
    Table Rows, columns, and cells with headers; ideal for detailed comparisons. Configure multiple network devices.
    List Each row shown as a card; can support single-select or multi-select. Select delivery slots or service packages.
    Repeater Displays one record at a time with navigation controls. Edit configurations one-by-one in smaller layouts.

    Administrators control layout, alignment, and scrolling in the layout editor.

    Field relationships

    Relationship Behavior
    Inside → Inside Fields in the same row can trigger each other through rules.
    Inside → Outside Not allowed directly; use Aggregates or Product Rules.
    Outside → Inside Allowed. Rules or field actions outside a set can change set field values.

    Key properties

    Sets include several configuration categories that shape how users interact with the table or list:

    • General settings: Orientation, maximum height, alignment, index labels.
    • Display type: Choose between Table and List views.
    • Inline settings: Show “Add Row” indicators, drop-down controls, or hover actions.
    • Size settings: Manage how users increase or decrease set rows (numeric or slider field).
    • Selection settings: Add single or multiple row selection with a Boolean selection field.
    • Search settings: Allow users to search values in a set (for example, filter by available date).
    • Message settings: Display validation messages or indicators in specific cells.

    Managing set data

    Sets support importing and exporting data in CSV format.

    • Download set data: Exports only visible columns based on filters applied in the UI.
    • Upload set data: Adds or updates rows in the set using a structured CSV file.
      • Rules run automatically on upload.
      • New rows are appended; matching rows are updated.
      • System-enforced limits apply (25 visible columns recommended).
    Enable uploads/downloads by adding JSON properties in the set’s raw value:
    {
      "uploadDetails": {
        "uploadButton": { "label": "Upload CSV", "visible": true },
        "downloadButton": { "label": "Download CSV", "visible": true }
      }
    }
    

    Scripting with sets

    To reference sets in rules or scripts, use the following syntax:

    Use case Example syntax
    Access the set set.<setVarName>
    Access an aggregate field set.<setVarName>.<aggregateVarName>
    For example:
    if (set.networkDevices.totalRackUnits > 50) {
       field.requiresAdditionalCooling = true;
    }
