# Creating Products and Folders

**Creating a Product**

1. Click on the Control Center Icon in the main menu and then click **+ New**.
2. Click **Product**.
3. The **Product Properties** pane is displayed. Input a **Name** for this Product.
4. Choose a **Status** for this Product.

*Note: The default setting is **Active.** If you change this to **Inactive** then any Folders / Tests you create within this Product will also be inactive until you change this back to **Active.***

5.  The following sections are optional. If you configure them at the Product level, then by default they will be inherited by any Folders and Tests you create within this Product. Follow the links below to learn about each section:
        - <a href="https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/advanced-settings"       target="_self">Advanced Settings</a>
        - <a href="https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/requests"       target="_self">Requests</a>
        - <a href="https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/insights"       target="_self">Insights</a>
        - <a href="https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/alerts"       target="_self">Alerts</a>
6. Configure  <a href="https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/targeting-and-scheduling"     target="_self">Targeting and Scheduling</a> for this product.

## Creating a Folder  
1.  Click on the Control Center Icon  in the main navigation and then click **+ New > Folder**. 
2.  The **Folder Properties** pane is displayed. Input a **Name** for this Folder.
3.  By default, all settings categories will be set to **Inherited**, which means that this Folder will inherit these settings from its parent Folder or Product. If you want this Folder (and all folders/tests it contains) to use different settings, then you can select the **Override** option and configure them here.
