Setting up products
Create the products your company builds or sells, assign software to the product it supports, and group the Expenditure report by product to see the run-rate behind each one.
A product is a short, reusable label for something your company builds, sells or runs - a customer-facing app, an internal platform, a module, or whatever your teams actually name them. You set the list up once under Settings, then pick a product on any tool. It is the same idea as a business unit or a customer: a business unit records which part of your own company a tool sits in and a customer records who the software is for, while a product records which of your own products the tool helps deliver.
You will find the list at Settings, then Products. Every product shows its name and how many tools currently carry it, so you can see at a glance where your spend is concentrated. A count above zero is a link that opens the register filtered to that product's tools. Any member of the workspace can view the page, but only admins can add, rename or delete products, so the shared vocabulary cannot be changed by accident.
To add one, type a name in the New product field at the bottom and press Add product (or press Enter in the name field). Editing works in place: change a product's name in its Name field and it saves when you click away or press Enter. Renaming a product keeps every tool attached to it, so correcting a typo or adopting a new name is safe to do at any time.
Deleting is deliberately gentle. If the product still has tools against it, StackTrackr asks you to confirm and tells you how many are affected. Those tools keep the label they were showing but lose the link to the managed product, so nothing disappears from your register and no cost data changes. Editing one of those tools later keeps its label too: the form shows No product, and the label only changes if you pick a managed product there. If you delete a product by mistake, add it again and reassign the affected tools.
Once products are in place they show up across the app. You can assign a product on the create or edit form, add a Product column to the register, filter or search the register by product, and group the Expenditure report by Product to see annualised spend per product. That last view answers what each product line actually costs to run in software, without anyone having to maintain a separate spreadsheet.
