Product Listings

A product listing represents a product that a manufacturer 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

Product Listing Information and Updates

Before a product listing becomes available to users outside its respective manufacturer, 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.

Note: The available amount of information that Specpoint displays for a product listing depends on its product listing type and what its manufacturer provides.

Occasionally, manufacturers update their product listings, which may include changes to product listing information, product resources, and product properties. After approval and publishing, these changes are applied to the platform but limited to only future product selections. If your project has a given product listing selected and the product listing receives an update, the project maintains the product listing information from when the product listing was added to the project. To update the product listing information for that project, remove and add the product listing back to your project.
