Catalogs can contain any number of other catalogs or categories and represent the entirety of what users see on your web site. This section describes the properties you are required to fill in when you are creating a catalog. It also described how to indicate where you want the catalog to reside, which is an important decision, but not one you are required to make now. Know that creating a catalog without specifying a location makes it an unlinked item that is visible in the Unlinked Catalog Items view, not the Catalog view. When you deploy, catalogs must exist in catalog folders.
To create a new catalog:
In Catalog view or Unlinked Catalog Items view of the Browse tab, click Create New and choose Catalog. To learn how to access these views, see Catalog View or Unlinked Catalog Items View.
The Details pane displays empty text boxes you can use to define the catalog.
Specify the catalog’s location in the hierarchy by adding, replacing, or removing a parent using the Select Parent and Clear buttons on the top right of the Details pane. A parent is preselected if you see an asset name beside Select Parent.
Add or replace a parent by clicking Select Parent and, once the Select an Item dialog box opens, selecting the appropriate Repository item type that you are creating and the parent asset type from their respective dropdown lists, and then clicking Find. Click the radio button beside your preferred parent, then click OK.
Remove a parent by clicking Clear beside SelectParent.
Enter a name for the catalog in the Name text box (Required).
Click Create.
In the Navigation pane, the catalog name displays. The Details pane displays the General tab, which holds properties you can use to define the catalog.
