# Products BT

****Marlin GTX**** enables the creation, maintenance and control of products using the Product Maintenance module.

Product Maintenance can be accessed by selecting **Main > Products > Manage Products** from the menu bar.

**To add products:**

- Click **Add** at the top of the module window

The **Add Product** window will open on the **Details** tab.
