Product Listings

A product listing represents a product that a BPM offers within Specpoint. A/E firms can specify these product listings in their project specification sections.

A product listing typically has the following attributes and properties:
  • Attributes that determine the listings availability and included information within Specpoint such as its listing type, state, and status
  • General information about the product such as its name, model number, and description
  • Attributes and properties that determine the listing's usability in project specifications and MasterSpec content, such as a family, a product type, and product type properties
  • Related resources such that help you learn more about the product such as photos, documents, and links

Before a product listing becomes available to users outside its respective BPM, the product listing undergoes a process of submission, review, and approval. This process involves authors and reviewers within the BPM and the Deltek administrative team.

Specpoint displays product listings in the following formats:

Format Description
