Defining Product Lines


Product lines are logical groupings of products. When you define a product line, you name it and then specify all the products in that particular line. If you have products that have already been defined, you can associate them with the product line. You can assign product line managers.

To create a product line

  1. From the application-level menu select View > Site Map > Application Administration > Product Line.
  2. In the Product Line list, add a record and complete the necessary fields.

Some of the fields in the Product Line list are described in Table 9.
