Products may be Active, meaning that new entitlements can include these items, or Inactive, meaning that these items will not be included even if they are associated with Catalog Items which are entitled. |
The Search Product function is not case sensitive and supports the use of the "*" character as a wildcard. Note that wildcards cannot be used for System ID fields.
