Product information

In product information management, you can select pre-existing product information or create your own to the database.

Product information management differs from the other management tools a little. The main differences are:

In Standard databases, you can download the desired manufacturer’s databases from the Product database drop-down menu.

In Shared databases, you can use different databases to save your own product information, and import data from Excel, for example.
