### Steps for Searching and Creating a Product using the Global Catalog

 

- After the "Add Product" button has been clicked the new product creation page will appear where you can type the product name and brand to search the Global Catalog for the product and import the available default values.
  
  Selecting "Create a Product From Scratch" will bring up the product creation page and all fields will be empty due to the catalog import not occurring.
  
  ![add product global catalog - add products page](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/add%20product%20global%20catalog%20-%20add%20products%20page.png?width=688&height=440&name=add%20product%20global%20catalog%20-%20add%20products%20page.png)
  
  #### **EXAMPLE SEARCH:**
  
  ![add product global catalog - search for product](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/add%20product%20global%20catalog%20-%20search%20for%20product.png?width=688&height=797&name=add%20product%20global%20catalog%20-%20search%20for%20product.png)
- After locating your desired product from the Global Catalog list the "Create" button can be selected to continue where the default values will be imported. The imported values can be modified anytime via the product creation page or product profile
  
  **NOTE**: If a Brand is not found for the product selected a prompt will appear asking if you want to create a new brand. 

  **Imported Product Details** 
    - Product Name
    - Description
    - Images
    - Strain
    - Concentration & Potency
    - Brand
- Before saving the product, review the imported data for Product Detail and Image accuracy. Imported values can be changed and additional details such as Images, Product Tags, and Potency can be added.
  
  **NOTE: Category**, **Weight Per Unit (WPU)**, and **Vendor** all require manual entry before saving.

   
  
  ![add product global catalog - required fields](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/add%20product%20global%20catalog%20-%20required%20fields.png?width=688&height=913&name=add%20product%20global%20catalog%20-%20required%20fields.png)
