How do I manage my catalogs?
As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can manage all of your catalogs and view an overall status on the Managed Catalogs page. Each catalog has its own settings and customization options.
There are two types of catalogs:
- A root catalog links your account in Canvas with your Catalog home page and is created for you as part of the Catalog setup process.
- A subcatalog can be based either on a domain or a specific path URL where you can associate and brand specific listings for a department, organization, or team.
Managing your catalogs allows you to add subcatalogs, edit catalog settings, or delete catalogs.
Open Admin
Click the User drop-down menu [1]. Then, click the Admin link [2].
Open Catalogs
Click the Catalogs tab.
View Catalogs
The Catalogs page displays catalog names [1], catalog URLs [2], and whether the subcatalog is shown in the parent catalog [3].
View Name
The Name column displays both domain catalog names and subcatalog names. Root catalogs are left aligned to the page [1]. Subcatalogs are slightly indented with an arrow icon [2].
You can view the number listings that have been added to each catalog [3].
Note: When you sign up for Canvas Catalog, your root catalog is created for you. Additionally, some subcatalogs may be placed within other subcatalogs.
View Catalog URL
The URL column displays catalog URLs, or the links used to open the catalogs.
To view a catalog, click its URL link.
Show in Parent Catalog
Subcatalogs can be shown or hidden in the parent catalog. On the Catalogs page, you can manage whether or not a catalog is shown in the parent catalog.
By default, subcatalogs are shown in the parent catalog [1]. To hide a subcatalog from the parent catalog, locate the subcatalog, and click the Show in Parent toggle button off [2].
Edit Catalog Settings
To edit catalog settings, click the catalog name link.
Editing catalog settings allows you to manage catalog info, manage user defined fields, customize catalogs, and manage categories.
Delete Catalog
To delete a catalog, click the Delete icon.
Note: You cannot delete a catalog if it contains course or program listings.
