Copy the product URL from your supplier's website address bar

Paste the product URL into the field
Click Add
Programa automatically extracts the product's name, description, images, and other relevant details.
When to use URL import: You have product links ready and want to add items quickly without browsing.

Click the Programa icon in your Chrome toolbar
Click the Smart Fill option to auto-fill all images and product data
Review the information and make any edits as needed
To save attachments (warranties, manuals, etc.), click the + button in the attachments field and select the file name
Click the Clip button at the bottom of the clipper window

Method 3: Product Library
Use this method when you want to reuse products you've previously saved to your library—no manual data entry required.
On the main Product Library page, search, filter or sort to find the item you wish to add
Click Add To
Select the Project your schedule is saved in
Select the Schedule name
Select the Schedule section you'd like to save the product to
Programa automatically copies the product from your library into the schedule, including all information, custom specifications, and attachments.
When to use Product Library: You're specifying products you've used before or want to maintain consistency across multiple projects.
Note: Products are copied to your schedule, not synced. This prevents potential errors when applying library changes that may not suit certain project circumstances. If you update product details in your Product Library, remember to update your schedule with the new information too.
Method 4: Custom Products
Use this method for items without web links, bespoke products, or when you need complete control over specifications.
Click + New Product at the end of your section
Select Custom Product
Add your product information into the relevant fields in the empty product row
Click the 'Details' button at the end of the schedule row to open the Details tray
Add additional information like custom specifications, notes, and attachments
Adding custom specifications:
In the Details tray, scroll to the Custom Specs section
Click + Add Spec
Enter a label (e.g., Warranty, Installation, Grout Colour, Lay Pattern)
Enter the specification details
Press Enter to save
You can add unlimited custom specs—click + Add Spec for additional rows.
When to use custom products: You're adding bespoke, custom items, products without supplier websites (antiques), or items requiring specialized specifications.
