Adding and updating House Product

House Types & Facade configuration is done in the  Framework Administration application (not Framework ECM - Installation of the app, if required, can be found in your mapped Framework Drive :\Setup\Framework Administration\Framework Administration 6.3.90xx (ASA 3.9.0).msi) 

Help guides can be found by clicking on the Help icon in the top menu bar and then selecting Contents. The Product menu, when expanded, will list the House Class, House Type and House Facade guides.

Please note: For the valid combinations of House Types, Façade and elevations etc to be available in the dropdown menus within Framework, there is a final step that must be completed. Product Validity is used to link these records together. This ensures only correct combinations of House types and facades are selected in the system.
