Adding a product to a series

There are two sections of properties associated with a product: General and Product. The General section contains properties such as the name, alias, description, and current status of the product. The Product section contains properties such as the bar code number, the name of the parent series, the product code, the product type, the reference code, and the name and location of the file itself.

When you are creating a product, the properties in the General section and the map document are required. By default, the document file name matches the name of your product. You can optionally indicate the bar code, reference code, and other product-specific information.

You can also import selected features to automate the creation of individual products, including instances, and areas of interest.
