Creating Catalogs

You create catalogs on the Catalogs page in the Catalog Administration screen.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Catalogs.

To create a catalog

1. Navigate to the Catalog Administration screen.
2. Add a new record to the Catalogs list and complete the necessary fields in the record and the More Info form. Some fields are shown in the following table using the form under the More Info tab.

   Field	Description
   Name	Enter a name for the catalog.
   Sequence	Enter a number to control how this catalog is displayed. Catalogs are displayed in ascending order by their Sequence field. NOTE:  We strongly recommend making an entry in this field. Records where this field is empty appear either before or after records where this field is populated, depending on the database platform, but the records with the Sequence field empty will be randomly sequenced.
   Private	Select this checkbox to make the catalog visible only to users who belong to the access groups associated with it. If the catalog is private, all of its categories will also be private.
   Effective Start Date	Enter the date when the catalog becomes visible to end users.
   Effective End Date	Enter the date when the catalog stops being visible to end users.
   Active	Select this checkbox to make the catalog visible to end users.
   Catalog Type	Choose Buying from the drop-down list if you want the catalog to be displayed on the Web site and in the employee application. Catalog Type can be used to control what is displayed by setting search specifications on applets. For example, you could create two catalog types named Customer and Partner. You could then create a view with an applet that has a search specification to display only catalogs of type Partner and a second view with an applet that has a search specification to display only catalogs of type Customer.
   Interactive Designer Project	Select a Siebel Interactive Designer project with which to associate the catalog. Do this if you want to place a Get Advice hyperlink next to the name of a catalog in the Product Catalog View (eSales) view. For more information about how to create a Siebel Advisor pageset, see Siebel Advisor Administration Guide.
   Image	Select an Image file associated with the catalog.
