Additional queries within offers

Questions & answers are created within offer packages in the offer wizard. These queries can be used to obtain additional information, e.g. queries about food (Fig. 1) or specific booking options, e.g. the workshop selection in the offer package Workshops (Fig. 2).

Since questions and answers are placed in offer packages and the display of offer packages can be controlled per price group, questions and answers also offer an opportunity to configure price group-specific additional queries and content in the registration process.

2. Add existing question - Changes to existing questions affect all places where the question is also linked.
