How do I enable bulk purchase/enrollment for a catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can enable bulk purchase or enrollment for a catalog and its subcatalogs in the Catalog Info page.

Open Admin

Open Admin

Click the User Name drop-down menu [1]. Then, click the Admin link [2].

Open Catalogs

Open Catalogs

Click the Catalogs tab.

Select Catalog

Select Catalog

Click the catalog or subcatalog name link.

View Catalog Info

View Catalog Info

In the Account Navigation Menu, the Catalog Info tab displays by default.

Disable Bulk Purchase/Enrollment

Enable SKU Upload

In the Catalog Info page, Enable bulk purchase/enrollment for this Catalog and its subcatalogs is enabled by default. To disable bulk purchase/enrollment, click the Enable bulk purchase/enrollment for this Catalog and its subcatalogs drop-down menu and select the No link.

Notes:

  • Turning on this setting immediately enables the bulk purchase setting on all course listings under the catalog and its subcatalogs.
  • The catalog-level setting acts as a default value manager for new listings, but does not enforce a lock or permission restriction. Subcatalog admins and listing-level users can still change this setting independently after it is enabled at the catalog level.
  • Disabling this feature reverts the setting across all course listings and descendant catalogs — removing access to the feature from the user interface but does not restore previous states.
  • If you are piloting this feature or enabling it for a limited audience, consider disabling Inherit Parent Settings in subcatalogs to manage visibility more granularly, and clearly communicate with subcatalog admins before activation.
