What is a Product Type and how are they used?
This article shows how product types are created, how they are used, and what they are in Asset Management.
Product Types are the ways products are grouped or classified in the system. For example, your institution may have three different brands of laptop computers (i.e. HP, Dell, Acer) but all of these products can be classified as a the Product Type laptop computer. Product Types will determine the custom fields associated with the product. For more information on Custom Fields reference the following article here.

1. Click on Asset Management in the navigation menu
