Product Creation Template Types
New Blank Product Template
A New Blank Product Template will let the tenant user create a Standalone Product that will have no relation to the Global Product templates. When choosing to create a completely new blank Product from scratch, users will be redirected to the full blank Product Template form where they will be able to add all Product information and images. Products that are not on Global Product list can be created using this template.

Global Product Template
A Global Product Template will let users create a Product directly from the list of Global Products. They can easily search for Branded Products on the product search bar and select the Global Product with pre-filled information. All they have to do is insert Product names and prices to enlist them on the tenant Product List. This is advantageous for Sellers as they will not have to perform data entry for Branded Products as most of them are already pre-filled in the system with details under Global Products (GP).

Global Product Template Customize
Customize option on Global Product Template will redirect to the Template Editor to allow customization of some product details, but not all information. So, if users want to customize few details of Global Product data on the template form, then they can select this option. Selecting Customize option will redirect to the full template form, but users will not be able to edit everything on it. Anything that will be changed will be saved, anything that will not be changed will not be saved for the customized Global Product.

Global Product Template Copy
Copy option on Global Product Template is a Detached Mode where all the Global Product information are copied from the product template. Hence, selecting Copy will detach the Global Product from the product template and make it a standalone product to edit any details and save those changes. Though product is created from Global Product, it will have no connection with Global Product, but redirect to the full form, so that users can edit all product details, images, and save everything as a standalone product.
