Data Evaluation in Feature Tables

---

Each set of possible selections is contained within a Feature table. During runtime, the active data is typically determined by the row in the Feature table that corresponds to the user's selections in the UI. For example, for the exterior color of a car, the available options might be Beige, White, Black, Green, Blue, and Red. The modeler would create a Feature table that contained these colors and map an Input UI Control to it. In this Feature table, the modeler would create six rows, one for each of the colors. At runtime, if the user selects the color Black, the row corresponding to the color Black is active. At runtime, each Feature table has exactly one active row.

This row is made active by one of the following:

User selection
Default setting
The Configuration table setting it to be active (see Best Practices for more information)
