Managing Product Groups

Product Groups are used to group products. A single product may be a member of any number of product groups. For example, 80# Gloss paper could be grouped under Gloss Products and grouped under 80# Products. Product groups are used to search for products and, more importantly, to assist in analysis of historical data.

To manage Product Groups:

  1. On the desired server, click Product Management.

  2. Right-click Product Groups and choose Add New Product Group. A new, editable field appears under the Product Groups folder.

  3. Type the name of the new product group and press ENTER.

Product groups must be unique on a given server.

  1. Right-click the new product group and select Edit <product group name> Membership from the pop-up menu. The Product Groups dialog box appears.

  2. Do one of the following:

  3. To move all products into the product group, click the Move All button .

  4. To move specific products into the product group. select the product(s) and click the Move Selected button .

A single product may be a member of more than one group, so adding a product to a new group will not remove it from any groups it was previously added to.

  1. Click the Close button to close the dialog box.
