Product Settings

Use Admin Settings > Product Settings to manage the catalog structure your team uses across Loupe Factory. Admins can set the default weight unit, manage product types, organize size groups, assign shapes to the right groups, and reset product catalogs when needed.

Before You Start

Only admins can open Admin Settings > Product Settings. If you do not have admin access, ask an existing admin to make these changes for you.

Default Weight Unit

Use the General section to set the default weight unit used when your team creates new product and inventory records.

  1. Go to Admin Settings > Product Settings.
  2. In General, choose the Default weight unit.
  3. Click Save Settings.

This setting helps keep new records consistent across the workspace.

Managing Product Types

Use Product Types to define the main catalog labels your team works with, such as product families, collections, or commercial categories.

Add a Product Type

  1. Go to Admin Settings > Product Settings.
  2. In Product Types, click Add product type.
  3. Enter the Product type name.
  4. Enter the Short name if your team uses internal codes.
  5. Leave Active enabled if the type should be available right away.
  6. Click Save.

The short name must use exactly four uppercase letters or digits.

Edit, Activate, or Remove a Product Type

  1. In the Product Types list, find the type you want to update.
  2. Use the search bar if you need to narrow the list.
  3. Use the Active checkbox to enable or disable the type.
  4. Open the row's three-dot menu to choose Edit or Remove.
  5. If you edit the type, update the fields and click Save.

Use deactivation when a product type should no longer appear for new work, but you still want to keep a cleaner history than deleting records immediately.

Managing Size Groups

Use the Sizes section to create reusable size groups and manage the size values inside each group. These groups can then be assigned to shapes.
