Product document file types are a feature in the product catalog setup that allows you to categorize and structure documents linked to products. This feature is especially useful for companies that want to keep track of different types of documents such as user manuals, technical specifications, certificates, or marketing material. By defining specific file types, the company can ensure that all relevant documents are organized and easily accessible for both internal users and customers.
Each document type consists of a system name and a display name. The system name is used internally in the system, while the display name is what is shown to the user. For example, a file type like "UserManual" can have the display name "User manual".
