The Product Library is a valuable resource for managing and organizing your products. This guide shows you how to add products to your Product Library so you can build a comprehensive catalogue of items for your projects.
This guide shows you how to add products to your Product Library using three different methods, so you can build a comprehensive collection of your favorite products.
Adding Products from your Schedule
You can add products to your Product Library directly from your Schedules. This sends a copy of your products to the Product Library, so you can be specific and control when this information is updated.
Note: Updates made to products that exist in both your Schedule and Product Library are not linked, so any edits made in either area will not sync to the other.
This prevents potential errors when making product changes across different projects. Remember to update your Product Library listing if the changes are universal.
To add a single product:
In your Schedule, find a product that you'd like to save to your Product Library
Click the three dot button at the end of the product row
Select Add to Product Library from the dropdown options
To view your new product listing, head to Product Library in the left-hand navigation menu
To bulk add multiple products:
In your Schedule, find the products that you'd like to save to your Product Library
Hover to the left of the products in your Schedule to reveal their checkboxes
Multi-select all of the products you'd like to add to your Product Library
Select the Action button in the top right of your Schedule
Select Add to Product Library to add all selected products directly to your Product Library
Using the Programa Web Clipper
The Programa Web Clipper allows you to quickly add products from supplier websites directly into your Product Library.
Steps to add a product:
Navigate to the webpage of the product you’d like to add.
Click the Programa Extension Icon in the top-right corner of your toolbar. The Web Clipper window will open on the left side of your screen.

Use the screenshot tool by clicking the Crop Icon, then drag your mouse over the area you want to capture.
You can add up to 4 images per product.
Import product information:
Highlight text on the page, then choose the corresponding field from the dropdown list in the clipper.
Alternatively, click the + button in the clipper field to select the information you wish to add.
You can also manually type information into any clipper field.
Once all relevant fields are complete, click the black Clip button at the bottom of the window.
The button will turn green once the product has been successfully added to your Product Library.
