Catalog Management

A catalog is a collection of products chosen from the Product Master Catalog. Catalogs create flexible groupings of products and the selected attributes, and possible variable values that can be used for specific business needs. In Catalogs, you can create catalogs or view products associated with a catalog. 

In this article, you'll learn how to set up and manage Catalogs.

Product Master Catalog

The Master Catalog is the master view of all products and the values that the product record inherits when added to another catalog. Changes made in a catalog product record will not be reflected in the master product record. 

You can access your Product Master and your other catalogs in Products under PIM in the left hand sidebar. Use the Catalog dropdown menu on the top left.

Create Catalogs

You can create new catalogs at any time in Catalogs. Create a catalog for a specific team or region, so that you can update your records based on your business needs without affecting your master data.

For example, you may want to create a catalog for your Cosmetic European Division. Now, you can add and manage all your cosmetic products overseen by your Cosmetics EU Division, without affecting the master product record.

1. Navigate to Catalogs under PIM in the left hand sidebar
