What Strategy Designer is not:

Warning
  • Replacement of the Price Setting module. You need to manage you data, price lists, and price grids using the standard Pricefx modules.

  • Visual designer for any Groovy logic. It just allows users to create custom strategies that are handled by the Price Setting Package accelerator. It does not work independently and cannot be used without it.

  • Viewer of data stored in your partition. Although the Live Preview functionality offers you some visibility into your data, it is very limited. Browsing the master data tables or Company Parameters in Pricefx Unity gives you features such as filtering, sorting, storing your preferences, and thus offers much better experience.
