# Importing Products, Parts and Materials  into the Product Catalog

You can import Products, parts and materials into the Product Catalog via a file import, using the Product Import template supplied with Quantify. You will find the template here: [Product Import Template.xls](https://cdn.document360.io/ae69c864-58f0-4711-91e1-d1c2f7dff95f/Images/Documentation/Product%20Import%20Template.xls). Enter the appropriate products into the template and then save the file as a tab delimited text (*.txt) file.
