Overview

The Add New Product function allows users to create a new ticket product within Entrance Management.

A product represents a ticket type that can later be linked to events, used in entrance plans, and validated during scanning.

Products must exist before:

  • Tickets can be imported or issued

  • Entrance plans can apply validation rules

  • Scan rules can target specific ticket types

This configuration defines the access structure of your event.


EM – Product Creation Window

When selecting + Add product, a configuration window appears with the following fields:


EM – Name (Required)

Field: Name*

Purpose:

  • Defines the visible name of the product.

  • Represents the ticket type in:

    • Event configuration

    • Entrance plans

    • Scan validation rules

    • Reporting

Examples:

  • Regular

  • VIP

  • Early Access

  • Staff

This is the primary identifier for operational use.


EM – External ID

Field: External ID

Purpose:

  • Optional unique identifier.

  • Used for:

    • API integrations

    • External ticketing systems

    • Synchronisation with third-party platforms

Important:
This field is mainly used for technical or integration purposes and does not affect scanning logic directly.


EM – Product Type

Field: Product type (Dropdown)

Default: Regular

Purpose:

  • Classifies the product into a category.

  • Used for:

    • Filtering

    • Reporting

    • Operational segmentation

Examples may include:

  • Regular

  • VIP

  • Special access

This classification does not define capacity — it defines category and business logic grouping.


EM – Event

Field: Event (Dropdown)

Purpose:

  • Links the product to a specific event.

  • A product must be associated with one event.

Important:
Without linking a product to an event:

  • It cannot be used in entrance plans.

  • It cannot be validated during scanning.

  • It cannot be used for ticket import.


EM – Action Buttons

Create

  • Saves the product.

  • Makes it available for:

    • Ticket import

    • Entrance plan configuration

    • Scan rule setup

Close

  • Cancels the creation process.

  • No changes are saved.


EM – What This Section Controls

This section defines:

  • Ticket type structure

  • Access differentiation

  • Scan validation targeting

  • Entrance rule configuration

Without products:

  • Tickets cannot be categorised.

  • Entrance plans cannot define validation rules.

  • Scanners cannot differentiate ticket types.

Products form the foundation of structured entrance validation within the system.


If you'd like, I can now also rewrite this in the exact same tone and structure as your Venues or Entrance Plans documentation for full consistency.
