To edit an existed product item, select your product from List of GTINs (by double click on a product record or click Edit). Product edit page appears in only one possible form. Here you can set all important parameters of your product: date times, product dimensions, product manufacturer, descriptions etc.

Once you perform additonal operations on product data, use Supplementind data to save new added data or use Modification of data to change and save the already existed data. These functions are available from the right side of the edit page.
You can perform additional operations in edit page – if product status is not Finished:
Copy: Copy product data retaining data about target market (GTIN and data receiver are removed) or retaining all data (data receiver is removed only).
Copy function is available from the List of GTINs and from the GTIN list with LOT information as well.
Status and Check: Change product status. You can turn Finalize from Draft. (If you do not change status, product will be in Draft remaining.)
You can change the status of one than more items at same time. Hold down Ctrl key and select multiple records with your mouse within List of GTINs, select Status menu, and then select Finalize or Revoke.
Once you select Finalize within Status menu, you get a confirmation message and if you choose Yes, overall product data checking is done by the BarcodeManager.
Product checking can be done at any time during product set by clicking on Check in product edit page.
At the end of checking, a detailed list of errors/warnings appears in the Checks window on the right side of the edit page. To finalize product set, every single listed error must be fixed by you (if Checks window is empty, you do not have to do anything else, your product data is fit to GS1 standards). After corrections are completed, errors will be disappeared from check list.
The Errors section of Checks window provides essential information about errors and shows the exact place to fix them.
After error fixing, use Check function again. When all data of your product are correct, select Status/Finalize to finalize your product. Status Finalized of your product appears in the List of GTINs. (Status Finalized can be retrieved by the Status/Revoke function.)
