Presentation in the online shop

The Selection wizard appears in the entered category and displays the individual questions with their possible answers and the number of available items. The customer sees the choices and decides on one of the characteristics. With each further selection, the Selection wizard narrows down the items until either only one item remains or all possibilities are exhausted. In the latter case, a selection of all items with the selected characteristics is shown.
