   1. A data model has been created.
   2. A data model version has been created using the schema that contains the feature-level metadata.
   3. Field configurations have been created for the schema.

Note:

The Product Library window can be opened by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library.

   Note:

   The Manage Features and Create Attributes, Update Attributes, or Metadata Attributes windows automatically appear when you start an edit session using the Production Start Editing tool.
