Building Systems
Prodikt is designed to be a dynamic and time-saving tool for you. One way to improve efficiency is by working with building systems. Just like in reality, building systems are based on materials and products.
Predefined Systems
You can use predefined systems and modify or add products to them for a quick start. You’ll find predefined systems at the top of “My Page” under the “Systems” tab.
Create Your Own Systems
Saving time is one of Prodikt’s main goals. By creating systems that you and your team use regularly, you can save many hours!
New System
Start by clicking "New System."
If you want to add an image, click the camera icon and choose a picture.
Enter a name.
If you're importing files and want to match them with your systems, you can choose a tag. Learn more under “Importing Systems.”
A system needs to belong to a product category so that Prodikt can organize it properly in the database.
If desired, select a classification according to Co-Class.
Add a description of your system.
Proceed to the Next Step
Add Product
Click "Add Product" to search for an existing product or select from your own systems or products.
You can find more information about creating your own products here: Create Product
Under “Advanced” for each product, you have the option to specify:
How the product is handled at the end of its lifecycle (End of Life)
Global Warming Potential (GWP)
Potential waste during production
In the next step, assign technical parameters to your system based on the selected product group.
Save your system to find it under “Systems.” There, you can also edit existing systems, add them to projects, and share them with your organization.
💡 Tip
You can also save systems while working in a project by clicking on the system > Edit System > and then selecting to save it to your own systems.
