Technical parameters

Technical parameters are the specification rows of a product, with four columns: Group, Parameter, Value and Unit. Groups (for example Electrical or Mechanical) become headings in documents. Templates with a specification table show every row, grouped. A value you leave blank shows as "Not specified", so enter verified values only.

  • Add rows by hand with Add parameter.
  • Pick a Template (a parameter set for your kind of product, such as laboratory equipment, packaging or textiles). It is chosen for you from the industry and category, and you can change it.
  • Suggest parameters adds the rows of that template and then asks AI for more that products like yours usually list (1 AI credit). The AI suggestions are shown as chips. Add the ones you want and dismiss the rest. Only names and units are suggested. You type the values.

Fill from a datasheet

If you already have the data in a Word or PDF file, open the product and choose Fill from a datasheet (1 AI credit). Upload a .docx or .pdf up to 10 MB. SpecIQ reads it and proposes values with the text it found them in.

  1. Review the table of proposals. Each row shows the field, the proposed value and the snippet it came from.
  2. A row marked Replaces shows the value currently on the product. A row marked Please check is less certain.
  3. Tick what you want and choose Add selected. Nothing is saved until you do.

Test reports

Add the tests a product has passed, each with a name, a result and the standard it refers to. Templates can show them as a table.

Market compliance

For each market you sell into, record the status and, if you have one, the certificate number. The statuses are Compliant, Pending, Not applicable and Not tracked. Templates that show compliance read from here.
