Accessing The Products Page
The Products module aggregates data in your Beam inventory by model. If you have multiple assets with the same model, they will be rolled up into a single product listing on the product page. This gives you insight into how individual products are moving through your organization (e.g. are particular models more likely to break than others? Are they more likely to get lost?). In this tutorial, we will give you an overview of all the functionality available on the products page.
