Catalog

What it is​

A module for creating and publishing catalog cards, products, offers or structured items related to the customer's business.

Each published card becomes a public page of the site, with texts, images, specifications and attachments.

It is part of the Digital growth category because it can generate new public pages.

When it is visible​

It is visible when the customer has a catalog or a collection of items to publish and update.

The Catalog section appears when the module is enabled on the instance. Access depends on the user's role and permissions.

Main sectors​

  • Enterprise
  • Businesses with a product or service catalog
  • Future dedicated configurations

Dependencies​

Can be linked to:

The catalog card​

Each item is a card with:

  • General information: name, slug, subtitle, category, display order.
  • Specifications: materials, origin, price, year, orientation, dimensions, exhibition dates, location, tools, processes, credits.
  • Description: editorial text.
  • Attachments: documents and PDF cards.
  • Relations: related articles and featured works.
  • Main images (up to 10) and Gallery (up to 20), with title and description per image.

Creating an item​

  1. Open Catalog.
  2. Select the create button: the New item dialog opens.
  3. Enter the Item name; the slug is generated from the name.
  4. Confirm: the card is created as a draft and immediately opens for details.
  5. Complete specifications, description, images and attachments.
  6. Save and then publish.

Categories and order​

The Category is chosen from a list of values configured for the catalog. From the editor you can manage the values: per-language labels, order and visibility.

Order (in the advanced options of the general information) defines the display sequence: the list and the site start from this value. Use low numbers for featured items.

Featured works and Related articles are ordered lists of published items linked to the card; the site respects the order chosen in administration.

Images and attachments​

  • Main images and Gallery: upload, reorder and add title and description per image.
  • Attachments: upload documents from the card (for example the product's PDF card) and reorder them.
  • The Publicly visible toggle makes attachments downloadable from the site. While disabled, files remain visible only in administration.
  • Links to attachments downloaded from the site use the uploaded file's name.
  • In the list, the Needs fixing filter flags items with incompatible media, to fix.

Draft and publishing​

Each item can be in Draft or Published.

  • Save does not publish: on an already-published item, saving returns it to draft until you press Publish.
  • The Visibility on Site toggle acts immediately on the saved state: Visible publishes, Hidden removes the item from the site (with confirmation). Unsaved changes stay in the form and are not published.
  • Only published items are read by the site's public pages: drafts and hidden items do not appear. The public page is reached via the item's slug.

From Communication > Messages > Editor > From item you can compose a message starting from a catalog item and import its title, text, images and button.

Best practices​

  • Fill in the general information and category first, then the details.
  • Prepare quality images and check their order: the first image of the gallery is used as the cover in public lists.
  • Check the order of featured and related items before publishing.
  • Verify that attachments intended for the public have the Publicly visible toggle enabled.
  • After each change to an online item, republish to bring it back to the site.
