A Template product is a product that is added using a template. All Made to Order products are template products as they require the use of a template. Off the Shelf products can be added with or without a template. When Samples are added using a template, a sample will be added for each strain in the template, eliminating the need to individually add a sample for each strain.
Before you begin
Before adding samples, it is recommended to create a sample type. Sample types can be added simultaneously with a product sample, but this process takes you to the Sample Types page instead of staying on the Samples page. Therefore, you will need to go back to the Samples page after adding the type, which adds an extra step to your workflow. To avoid this, it is more efficient to add sample types in advance.
Template product samples can be added from the Products page, the Templates page, or the Samples page.
