Your Stardraw Cloud application allows Users to select and combine the Products into Projects.
The Products in your Stardraw Cloud application can support any data you want, including images and/or graphical representations used in Layout modules.
Users of your Stardraw Cloud application select and combine Products to build a Project. The Products could be:
Components that are used in a custom product or assembly.
Discreet products that will go together to build an integrated system.
Any product or service that might be a part of a quote, equipment list, Bill of Materials etc.
Product Settings
There is one required field for a Product, "Description", and you can add as many other data fields, or "Settings", as you want. These Settings might be:
Identification Settings e.g. Manufacturer, Model, Variant, Material, Color etc.
Classification Settings e.g. Type, Family, Gender, Technology, Standards etc.
Physical Settings e.g. Width, Height, Depth, Weight, Power, Heat Output etc.
Commercial Settings e.g. Cost Price, Retail Price, Dealer Price etc.
Project Specific Settings (as empty placeholders) e.g. Location, Zone, Serial Number, IP Address etc
Product information is retrieved through Reports and via the Admin Portal so you can quickly discover, for example, which are your most profitable products, or which ones are most or least popular.
Managing Products
You can create and manage Products individually via the Admin Portal, or create or update a batch of Products by uploading a spreadsheet.
Product Categories
In the Admin portal you can define Categories; these are a way to group Products based on the value of the Setting(s) chosen to be a Category.
In graphical views the Product Browser will collect Products into their Categories and display them in a tree structure where each Category value is a folder.
