Find core materials and custom panels in the hardware category

Learn where core materials, custom panels, laminates and acrylics sit in the catalogue so you classify them correctly.

1. Core materials (the boards: BWP, BWR and MR grade ply, HDHMR, MDF, particle board, prelam boards and the like) are configured under the Hardware division's Core Materials category in the catalogue, not under panels.

2. Laminates and acrylics are finishes: they are categories of the Finish division.

3. When setting up a catalogue, expect core materials in the hardware section.

4. In the catalogue, custom panel and core material items are classified under the hardware category rather than furniture. This is by design in how the software is built, so a custom panel that appears in the design portal will be found under hardware in the admin portal, not under furniture.
