1. In the Takeoff tab of your MeasureSquare 8 project, create your product by going to Project Items and clicking on the plus ("+") icon to create an new item
2. Using the Template Code from Structure, add it to the product name in MeasureSquare with a number and a dash. Then match the Template Code with the Trade field. Save.
