Add a Product

What it does

The Add Product dialog lets you manually create a single product in your project catalog. This is useful when you have a specific product to add and already know its details.

How to add a product

  1. Go to the Products page.
  2. Click the Add Product button in the top right corner.
  3. Fill in the product details:
    • Title (required) — the product name.
    • Part Number — the manufacturer's part or model number.
    • Manufacturer — start typing to see autocomplete suggestions from existing manufacturers in your project.
    • Group — assign the product to a group (e.g., "Lighting", "Plumbing"). Start typing to see existing groups or create a new one.
    • Quantity — how many units are needed.
    • Unit — the unit of measurement (e.g., "EA", "LF", "SF").
    • Description — additional details about the product.
  4. Optionally, upload a PDF cutsheet by clicking the upload area or dragging a file onto it. Only PDF files are accepted.
  5. Click Save to add the product to your catalog.

Other ways to add products

  • Import Products — bulk import from PDFs, spreadsheets, or OneDrive using AI extraction.
  • Upload & Extract — on the Submittals page, upload a submittal PDF and the AI will extract products automatically.
