# Create your first food nutritional table with SATN

> Follow these eight steps to log in, register a product with its ingredients, and generate a compliant Colombian nutritional table ready to export.

This guide walks you through creating your first nutritional table in SATN. By the end, you will have a fully calculated product with a regulation-ready nutritional table you can export to Excel or include in a Word report. The whole process typically takes under five minutes once your ingredient data is in the system.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in">
    Open SATN in your browser. On the login screen, enter your **document number** and **password**, then click **Ingresar**.

    If you do not have credentials yet, contact your account administrator. If you have forgotten your password, click **¿Olvidaste tu contraseña?** below the login form — see [Password recovery](/authentication#recovering-your-password) for the full flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Products">
    After logging in, you land on the **Dashboard**. From the main navigation, click **Productos** to open the product list. This page shows all products currently in your account, grouped by type.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new Unitary Product">
    Click **Crear producto** and select **Producto Unitario** from the dropdown. A unitary product represents a single recipe with one ingredient list. If your product is a blend of separately calculated components, see [Mix products](/products/mix-products). If it is a bundle of finished products sold together, see [Combo products](/products/combo-products).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in client information">
    Select the **customer** this product belongs to from the dropdown list. If the customer does not appear, go to **Clientes** and add them first, then return to create the product.

    <Tip>
      Assigning a customer is required before you can save a product. Each product is associated with exactly one customer.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in product details">
    Complete the product information form:

    * **Product name** — the commercial name as it will appear on the label.
    * **Commercial presentation** — the package format or size description (e.g., "Bolsa 200 g").
    * **Serving size** — the declared serving in grams (e.g., `30`).
    * **Total amount** — the total net weight of the product in grams (e.g., `200`).

    <Note>
      SATN uses the serving size to calculate per-serving nutritional values alongside the required per 100 g values. Make sure both figures match what you plan to declare on the label.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select ingredients and quantities">
    In the **Ingredientes** section, search for each ingredient by name. SATN searches the ICBF food composition database as you type. Select the matching ingredient and enter the quantity used in **grams**.

    Repeat for each ingredient in the recipe. The order you add them does not affect the calculation.

    <Tip>
      If an ingredient is not in the ICBF database, you can add a custom ingredient with manual nutrient values from **Ingredientes → Agregar ingrediente personalizado**.
    </Tip>

    If your product undergoes significant moisture loss during cooking or processing (for example, a baked or fried item), enable **Corrección por pérdida de humedad** and enter the moisture loss percentage. SATN adjusts the nutrient concentrations accordingly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and review the nutritional table">
    Click **Guardar**. SATN calculates all nutritional values and opens the product detail view. Scroll down to the **Tabla Nutricional** section to review:

    * Calories (kcal) per 100 g and per serving
    * Total fat, saturated fat, trans fat
    * Total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total sugars
    * Protein
    * Sodium
    * Vitamins and minerals present in your ingredients

    Any applicable regulatory warning seals — such as **Alto en sodio** or **Exceso en grasas saturadas** — are shown automatically below the table.

    <Warning>
      If a nutrient value looks unexpected, verify the ingredient quantities you entered are in grams and that the correct ICBF entry was selected. Different preparations of the same food (raw vs. cooked) have separate entries in the database.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export your results">
    From the product detail view, you have two export options:

    * **Descargar tabla Excel** — downloads a formatted Excel file with the nutritional table, ready to attach to a technical dossier or share with a client.
    * **Generar informe Word** — generates a complete Word document that includes the product information, nutritional table, ingredient list, and any warning seals that apply.

    For details on what each export contains and how to customize the output, see [Nutritional table Excel export](/exports/nutritional-table-excel) and [Product report Word](/exports/product-report-word).
