4 There are two ways that a product can be related to a system: *directly* or *indirectly*.
5
6 A **directly** connected product (or **primary** product) is linked to a
7 system. When a measurement is processed, a file will be created containing the
8 retrieved quantities of this product.
9
10 A **indirectly** connected product (or **secondary** product) is used in the
11 definition of a composite, more complex, product. For example, an "extinction" product
12 can be used to define a "lidar ratio and extinction" product. In this case the
13 "lidar ratio and extinction" product is the *primary* product (directly linked
14 to a system), and the "extinction" product is the *secondary* product (only liked to
15 the "lidar ratio and extinction" product). The output of a secondary product is not stored in a
16 file.
17
18 .. warning::
19 You should avoid linking a product both *directly* and *indirectly* to the
20 same system. If you link a *secondary* product directly to a system,
21 the output of the SCC could be wrong, as two products could attempt to write
22 their output on the same file.
23
24 In the product list view, these information are summarized in two columns, labeled
25 "Directly connected" and "Parent products".
26
27 Directly connected
28 Will be green for **primary** products, i.e. if the product is directly
29 linked to a system.
30
31 Parent products
32 If the product is a **secondary** product (i.e. it is part of a composite product)
33 this column will have a links to the related *primary* products.
34
35 .. note::
36 **For administrators**: These two columns can be used to quickly spot "orphan"
37 products, i.e. products that are neither linked to a system nor to a composite
38 product. These products will not be available to any user to use, and should
39 be either connected to a system, or deleted. Orphan products will have *red*
40 in the *Directly connected* column and "-" in the *Parent products* column.
