Add your first product
A product is the record everything else in Declara hangs off: SBOM uploads, matches, alerts, and cases all belong to a product. Creating one is a single form, not a multi-step setup flow.
Steps
- Go to Products. The Add a product form is on the page.
- Name it. Use whatever your team calls it — this is what shows up in alerts and cases later.
- Answer the questions that decide its scope and class: what type of product it is, whether it is available on the EU market, the member state you would report to, and any Annex III or IV category it falls in. The class decides the conformity route, never a reporting deadline.
- Set when support ends, or leave it blank if it is open-ended. The watch runs while the product is supported. To record the determination behind the date, with the Article 13(8) factors and your reasoning, see Record a product's support period.
- Press Add product. You land on the product's page, at the SBOM upload.
If your workspace started from the free scope check, the first product's form opens with your answers from it already filled in. Change anything that is not right.
What you should see
A product page showing no versions and no components yet, its scope verdict and its
conformity route. That's expected — a product with no SBOM uploaded has nothing to
match against the advisory feeds, and its release gate stays pending until one is
matched.
The same page leads to the records that sit around the product:
- its essential requirements record (Annex I) and its modification decisions (Art. 3(30))
- its support period (Art. 13(8))
- its user information (Annex II)
- its Trust Center, private until you publish it
- its supplier attestation
The Trust Center needs the Starter plan or above, the supplier attestation the Growth or Partner plan, and editing the user information the Readiness Pack.
