Creating a Product
A product context provides the space in which a team of people can create and manage all of the information that is relevant to the design, manufacture, and support of a customer product. This information includes the following:
• A defined data storage area for the business objects associated with a customer product.
• A set of rules that control the access to the product and optionally set the numbering scheme, versioning scheme, life cycles, and workflows that are used with the objects that are associated with a product.
• The team of users who have access to the product.
Product contexts are created within an organization by members of the product creators group that is defined in the organization or by the organization administrator. The organization administrator can add users who are members of the organization to the product creators group from Organizations > Creators. The new product icon appears on the Products table (accessed by selecting Products > View All) only for members of the product creators group.
For detailed instructions, see the help available from the New Product window.
