# Products & Features

## Overview

Products are the central organizational unit in the LAAVAT Platform. Each product represents a **signing or PKI use case** such as Secure Boot signing, device certificate issuance, code signing, or encryption. Products contain one or more **operations** that define the cryptographic actions to be performed.

The Products page in the GUI provides a list of all configured products with their current state, description, and available actions.

## Product List

The product list displays all products with the following columns:

Column              | Description
--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Name**            | The display name of the product
**State**           | The current lifecycle state (New, InProcess, Ready, Rejected, Failed, To Be Deleted, Deleted)
**Description**     | A brief description of the product's purpose
**Actions**         | Available actions depending on the product's state

### Product States

Products move through a lifecycle of states:

| State | Description |
| ------- | ------------- |
| **New** | Just created, pending initial approval |
| **InProcess** | Approval is in progress |
| **Ready** | Active and usable for signing/PKI operations |
| **Rejected** | Approval was rejected |
| **Failed** | An error occurred during processing |
| **To Be Deleted** | Marked for deletion via a change request |
| **Deleted** | Permanently removed from the system |

### Filtering and Search

Use the quick filter toolbar above the list to search products by name or description. The list supports server-side pagination with 10 items per page.

### Operations

Each product contains one or more operations. Each operation displays:

Field                       | Description
----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
**Operation Name**          | The name of the cryptographic operation

**Description**             | What the operation does
**Allowed Groups**          | Security groups authorized to submit requests

## Creating a New Product

To create a new product:

1. Click the **New** button on the products list page.
2. Fill in the product details (name, type, description).
3. Configure the product operations and their approval rules.
4. Submit the product for approval.

New products enter the **New** state and must be approved before they become active (**Ready** state).

---

## Modifying Products

Product modifications are made through **Change Requests** to ensure changes are reviewed and approved. See [Product Change Requests](https://docs.laavat.io/gui/products/change-requests/) for details on:

- Modifying operation settings
- Adding a new operation to a product
- Modifying product metadata
- Marking products for deletion
- Restoring products before deletion

> **Tip: Contextual help**
> Click the help icon (book icon) in the top-right corner of any product page to open the help panel with quick-reference information about products, operations, and approval rules.

## Deleting a Product

Permanent deletion of a product is a three-step process:

1. **Mark for deletion**: Create a change request with type "Set Product To Be Deleted". 
2. **Approve change request** This moves the product to the **To Be Deleted** state.
3. **Delete permanently**: From the products list, use the actions menu on a product in **To Be Deleted** state and select "Delete Product". Confirm the deletion in the dialog.

> **Warning**
> Deletion is **irreversible**. All associated keys and configuration will be permanently removed. Ensure the product is no longer needed and that no active devices depend on it.
