The tool is used to create and edit map products and product classes. By map products is meant the maps and schemes that are displayed in the application's graphical view. The different map products illustrate different themes. By that is meant that they focus on a subject or area of information, for example the geographic location information of places and lines or schematic representations of selected object types. Each product consists of product classes. The product classes in turn consist of object types. The object types then consist of graphic components.

Typically, the product is automatically assigned a free ID number. In other cases, the customer is assigned a range of valid ID numbers that can be used, which are listed under Assigned Product ID Numbers.

Filtration
Use the filter function to filter out the desired product class. You can also filter available product classes by selecting a product in the Reference product drop-down list. If you select a reference product, it means that all drawing attributes of the selected product class will be retained. If you would instead like to add a product class with the default drawing attributes supplied with an installation, enter "No Product" in the drop-down list.
Restrictions
The following limitation applies when combining several different product classes into one product:
A combination object type-object subtype-component type, i.e. a component, may appear in a product only once. For example, a component representing Roadside – Pavement – Shelter can only appear once in the product Base Map. Adding a product class that has a member component that already exists in the product is not possible - in such a case the application filters out the product class from the Available table. If you want to have both product classes in a certain product, you must remove Roadside - pavement - shelter from one of the product classes. In that case, you do this by editing the product class.

More about editing product classes
There are no restrictions on the types of graphic components that may appear in a product class, it is fine to mix graphic, text, symbol and raster components. Data components (components without graphical representation) cannot be stored in any product class. A component (i.e. a combination of object type-object subtype-component type) may appear in a product only once.
Example: A component that represents Road edge - pavement - shelter can only appear once in the product Base map. Adding a product class that has a member component that already exists in the product is not possible - in such a case, the application filters out the component from the Available table. If you want to have both product classes in a certain product, you must remove Roadside - pavement - shelter from one of the product classes. In that case, you do this by editing the product class.
