What is a product?

A product is a catalog record you enrich in Avist — for example a tile SKU or a product model that groups variants (colour / finish / size).

Products grid listing tile product models — Products grid — search, filters, completeness, quality score, and row actions.

Simple products vs product models

Simple product — one identifier, one set of values.
Product model — parent that holds shared data; variants hold the variant axis values (e.g. colour). In the grid they often show a [MODEL] label. See What is a product model? for why and how to use them.

Stone 3 example

pasha_azurita can be a model under family Tiles, with variants for finish and size. Shared marketing text lives on the model; size-specific data lives on the variant product.

What every product has

Identifier — stable code (SKU) used in imports, API, and media links.
Family — which attributes appear and which are required.
Values — data for each attribute (product values).
Categories — where it sits in navigation trees.
Completeness / quality — readiness for a channel + locale.

Product model edit form with attributes and completeness — Product edit — channel/locale selectors, attribute groups, categories, and Save.

Depends on

Family (template of attributes)
Attributes (fields you fill)
Channel & locale for scoped/localised values
