    A product is a manufacturer and part number. Multiple assets can be linked to one product.


  

  Manufacturer

        Maker of the product.

    Part Number

        Model number of the product.

    Product Type (also known as "Parent Category")

        Main category of the product.

    Sub-Category (also known as "Child Category")

        Specific category of the product.

    Product Name

        Model name of the product given by the manufacturer.

    Description

        Additional information about the product, like the range of use.

    Parts & Accessories

        Pieces that can be applied to products. These will be available to add at the work item level or work order level.


The Product Manager grid allows navigation between parent and child products (via a counter triangle similar to Asset Manager).


  • Quick Collection is added to the product manager and is used to add child products to parent products in bulk. Quick Collection can also be used to maintain a list of frequently used products for each employee.
