A product set, its length configuration and its prices travel together. Changing the length configuration changes which columns exist in the price table.
Product sets supplied with the app
Each supplied set is locked and can be restored with Reset to Default in Display Options. A set seeded on a device is kept as it is on that device; an update adds new sets without changing ones already there.
Supplied product sets

visible
A small set of common softwood dimension products.
NLGA Softwood

Four-quarter hardwood boards.
Live-Edge Slabs
visible
The companion of the Live-edge sawing method: full-sawn 8/4, 10/4 and 12/4 slabs, each in widths from 6 to 30 in. A product's width is the band a slab is paid in (its narrowest face). Every slab product has a twin with "Pith" in its name, set to Boxed heart, which is the slab that carries the pith. Prices are placeholders to review before use.

Prices in the supplied sets are starting points. Review them, or run Auto-Fill Prices, before relying on the value the optimizer reports.
Price table
One row per product, one column per offered length, priced per piece. A blank cell means that length is not offered for that product and the optimizer will not produce it.
Product Pricing — grid view
Auto-Fill Prices writes every offered cell from one rate per group. The rate is applied per thousand board feet and scaled by the product's board footage, a length multiplier, and its wane settings — see Product configuration.
