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 line. If you have products that are already defined, you can associate them with the product line. You can assign product line managers.

NOTE:  When you create a new product on the Products screen, you can add the product to an existing product line by specifying a value in the Product Line field of the Product record.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Products.

To create a product line

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen, then the Product Lines view.
2. In the Product Lines list, create a new record, and complete the necessary fields.

   The following table describes some fields.

   Field	Comments
   Product Line	The name of the product line for the products.
   Product Line Manager	The name of the product line managers.
   Products	The products associated with the product line. You can add or delete a product from a product line, and a product can belong to more than one product line. A product must exist before you can associate it with a product line.
