The Product Families dashboard shows how grouping products into product families increases your overall review volume and coverage. Refer to Share reviews among related products to learn about the types of product families available and how to configure them.

Note: This dashboard contains data only about products configured to be members of product families. It does not take into consideration products that are not members of a family, nor does it factor in syndicated reviews.

This view helps you determine if products are missing from an existing family or if you can create more families to further increase your review count and product coverage.
