# Setup: Configure product content structure

A content structure is about defining the metadata for the products that the client sells. How should their products be presented?

## Required steps

- Create client and at least one application
- Create a product classification structure, specifically the category tree.


## Preparations

To set up all product classifications there are some questions you need to know the answer for:

- What is the different attributes and properties that is important to model for the product catalog and for each category? And which should be filterable in navigations and searches?
- What type of relations between products and variants should be tracked? (Norce represents this with Product relation types and variant types)


## How-to

- Go to [Parametrics tab](https://norce-open-demo.admin-se.playground.norce.tech/product/manufacturer/manufacturer) and create different attributes and properties, **Name**, **Code** and **Type** is needed (don't forget that you can have culture specific names of parametrics) More help in the user documentation [here](/user-portal/pim/working-with-parametrics).
- Go to [Categories tab](https://norce-open-demo.admin-se.playground.norce.tech/category) and on each category add the parametrics and parametric groups needed. More help in the user documentation [here](/user-portal/pim/parametric-category).
- Go to the [Variant types tab](https://norce-open-demo.admin-se.playground.norce.tech/product/settings/varianttypes) and create the variant types that is needed. See more [here](/user-portal/pim/working-with-variants), and [here](/user-portal/pim/variant-types).
- Go to the [Relation types tab](https://norce-open-demo.admin-se.playground.norce.tech/product/settings/relationtypes) and create the relation types that is needed.


### Further configuration

- Note the [client settings](/user-portal/settings/client-settings), specifically
  - **Product texts are variant unique**, which sets up the build-in text fields on variant level as default.
