Product Type Overview

A Product Type is a categorization of the different types or groups of products in the Asset Management Catalog. For example, you may want to include a product type of laptop, calculator, desktop, white board, cell phone, etc.

When adding a product type: 

• Use generic names for product types that don't reference manufacturers/model numbers.
  Example: "Desktop" is a product type for all desktops, regardless of manufacturer.
• Product Type names should be singular descriptors and not plural.
  Example: "Table" instead of "Tables"
