Create a Product

Products are the basis for a definition. You must create a product before you can add releases or suites to it.

To create a new product

1. Navigate to the Domain, Software, Definitions, Categories folder in the DSM Explorer.

   The existing categories in the domain appear.

2. Select an existing category or create a new one by clicking New Category in the Tasks section.

   The existing definitions in the category appear.

3. Right-click the category and select New Product.

   The Create New Product dialog appears.

4. Enter the product name and version, and click OK.

   A message appears asking whether you want to create a release for the product.

   1. Click Yes.

      The Create New Release dialog appears where you can specify the details of a new release.

   2. Click No.

      The product is added to the category.

      Note: The product by itself does not have any meaning. You must create either a release or patch to give the specifications for the signature.
