From here you can browse, search, filter, and open any product to view or edit its details. ## Who It's For Brand administrators and team members with access to a brand workspace. ## How It Works ### Product Library The library displays all products for the active brand in a sortable, searchable table. Key columns include: * **Product name**: localised display name. * **SKU**: the current active SKU identifier. * **GTIN**: the current active GTIN (barcode). * **Commercial status**: whether the product is active, discontinued, or in draft. * **Mint readiness**: a deterministic badge indicating whether the product meets all requirements for passport minting. You can select one or more products (up to 100) to enter Bulk Edit mode. ### Product Detail Opening a product reveals its full record, organised into tabs and sections: #### Product Identity A fixed grid at the top of the detail page showing the core identifiers and status: * **SKU**: the current active SKU * **GTIN**: the current active GTIN (barcode) * **Product Name**: the display name * **HS Code**: Harmonised System classification code * **Commercial Status**: active, discontinued, or draft * **Traceability Mode**: the product's traceability configuration * **Last Updated At**: read-only timestamp Identifiers (SKU, GTIN, EAN, UPC) are edited in Product Detail, not in bulk workflows. #### Attribute Sections Below the identity grid, product attributes are organised into up to 15 sections driven by the **DPP Field Catalogue**, the master field dictionary for your brand's industry classification. Sections include: 1. **Product Description**: product description, intended use, target market, product branding 2. **Commerce & Variant**: model number, style ID, colour, size, season 3. **Materials & Composition**: materials summary, recycled content, fibre composition, lining, trims 4. **Environmental Performance**: carbon footprint, water footprint, environmental notes 5. **Durability & Warranty**: expected lifetime, warranty period 6. **Use, Repair & Reuse**: repair availability, repair guides, spare parts, reuse guidance 7. **End of Life**: disposal notes, recycling information, takeback programmes 8. **Compliance & Documentation**: certifications, compliance declarations, documentation URLs 9. **Manufacturer & Origin**: manufacturer name, country, design/assembly country, supply chain 10. **Care Instructions**: care instructions text, care symbols 11. **Chemicals & Substances**: restricted substances, substances of concern 12. **Access & Governance**: visibility policy, last updated timestamp Empty sections are displayed with a "No values set" placeholder, and they are not hidden. #### Additional Tabs * **Custom Fields**: brand-specific custom attributes defined by your team, displayed in a dedicated section. See [Custom Fields](/product-module/custom-fields). * **Media & Documents**: file attachments linked to the product * **Batches**: production batches associated with the product * **Economic Operators**: view, create, and edit economic operator records (manufacturers, importers, authorised representatives, facilities) associated with your brand * **Identifier History**: a full audit trail of every SKU and barcode change, partitioned into SKU history and Barcode history (GTIN, EAN, UPC) * **Locked Fields**: a read-only summary of fields protected from import-driven overwrites ### Editing Products with Minted Passports When you save changes to a product that already has minted passports, **tie*back*** displays a confirmation prompt: > **Update future mints only?** > Your changes will apply to future mints only. Previously issued passports remain unchanged. To correct historical passport data, use a break-glass amendment on the specific passport. This is an informational confirmation, not a hard block. You can always proceed with the save. The product master remains a living template for future issuance; edits are never propagated retrospectively to existing passports. ### Mint Readiness A badge appears near the product title: * **Ready to mint** (green): all required fields are populated and the product can proceed to passport minting. * **Not ready to mint** (neutral): one or more required fields are missing. ## Limits & Notes * The Product Library loads products for the currently selected brand only. * Identifier edits (SKU, GTIN, EAN, UPC) are always performed in Product Detail, never via bulk workflows. * Locked fields protect values from being overwritten during CSV or API imports; they do not prevent manual edits in the UI. * Product edits apply to future mints only. Existing passports are corrected via a governed break-glass amendment. ## FAQ #### Can I delete a product? Product deletion is not currently supported. Products can be set to a discontinued commercial status instead. #### What does the mint readiness badge check? It evaluates whether all required DPP schema fields for your brand's industry are populated and whether the commercial status is valid for minting. #### Can I edit identifiers in the bulk edit view? No. SKU, GTIN, EAN, and UPC are edited exclusively in the Product Detail page to preserve full audit history. #### Does editing a product update existing passports? No. Product edits apply to future mints only. Previously issued passports retain their original snapshot values. To correct historical data, use a break-glass amendment at the passport level. ## Related Docs * [Product Import](/product-module/product-import) * [Bulk Editing](/product-module/bulk-editing) * [Product Identifiers](/product-module/identifiers) * [Minting Overview](/minting/overview)
