Creating a Catalog Set

Article
11/12/2009

You use catalog sets to create a group of specific catalogs, and then give the group a unique name. For example, if you have a frequent buyers program and you give the members of this program discounts or incentives that you do not give to the general public, you can create a catalog set with specific catalogs in it, and then permit only the members of the program to access these catalogs.

If you have some products in separate catalogs that you would like to give access to a few restricted users, you can make that catalog part of a special catalog set that only those users would have access to.

If you create a catalog set, the catalogs from which they are derived are not changed.

Note

After you create a catalog set, you must specify which users will have access to the catalog set. For information about adding users and specifying which catalogs they can access, see Adding a User Profile.

To create a catalog set

In Catalogs, click Catalog Sets, and then click on the toolbar.

In the NewCatalog Sets screen, do the following:

Use this	To do this
Name	Type a name for the catalog set.
Description	Type a description for the catalog set.
Add all catalogs	Select this check box to have this catalog set represent all catalogs, even as new catalogs are added. Do not select this check box if you want to specify individual catalogs for this catalog set.
Available catalogs	Select individual catalogs to add to the catalog set, and then click Add. The catalogs you selected move from the Available catalogs box to the Assigned catalogs box.
Assigned catalogs	Display the catalogs added to this catalog set. If you remove a catalog from the Assigned catalogs box, it will automatically move to the Available catalogs box.

To publish the new catalog set, in the Catalog Editor module, click on the toolbar.

The catalog set is published on your Web site.
