Create a record for a type of product that your company sells and supports.

## Before you begin

Role required: model_manager

Ensure that the Model Management plugin (com.snc.model) is installed.

## About this task

A product model is a specific version or configuration of a product. Build hierarchical product models that represent the set of products that your organization offers to its customers and define relationships between different product models. Define whether a product is tracked as an asset, a CI or both as well as identifying or creating the CI and asset class that captures the configuration information for product models.

Product models provide customer service agents and
customers with a common understanding of the products being used by a particular
customer. Customers can view the products purchased on the Customer Service Portal
and can open cases for any issues they are facing.
