About Products
A product is typically thought of as the physical item manufactured and sold to customers.
Windchill expands the concept of a product to include the environment in which users collaborate to develop that end item part. This environment, known as the product
context, establishes the following:
• A defined data storage area for the business objects associated with the product.
• Access rules.
• Templates for creating documents and CAD documents.
• Teams and roles.
• Default life cycles you can use to manage data.
• Default workflows you can use to manage data.
• Default preferences.
