# Product structures

### What are product structures <a href="#what-are-product-structures" id="what-are-product-structures"></a>

Product structures are the blueprints for products and variants in the system. A product structure defines tabs, sections and attributes that are available to products and variants using that product structure.

Product structures can be created and updated directly in the UI of Struct PIM, which allows for easy configuration of the underlying data models of products and variants.

### Product- and variant data models <a href="#product--and-variant-data-models" id="product--and-variant-data-models"></a>

A product structure can be configured with a product model and if needed a variant model. These models define the tabs, sections and attributes of that product structure and how they present themselves to the editor.

Furthermore, identifiers are configured on product structures as well as thumbnail settings, name settings, workflows etc.
