How do I add a subcatalog for individual departments or organizations?
You can add subcatalogs in Canvas Catalog by creating a new catalog. Your domain catalog links your account in Canvas with your catalog home page and is created for you as part of the catalog setup process. Subcatalogs are linked to your domain catalog and allow you to associate specific listings for a department, organization, or team. Subcatalogs can be customized with their own branding and settings.
By default, subcatalog listings are shown in the parent catalog as well as the subcatalog's individual URL path. However, subcatalogs can also be made private, where subcatalog listings are not shown in the parent catalog.
Once you have created a subcatalog, you can manage your catalogs at any time to add customization options.
Note: You cannot delete a subcatalog once it has been created.

How do I manage my catalogs?
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: domain catalogs and subcatalogs. A domain 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 creates 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, manage user defined fields, customize catalogs, and manage categories.

How do I view the waitlist for a Catalog course or program?
If you set an enrollment cap as part of adding a course or adding a program, you can enable a wait list for the listing. A wait list allows students to add their names to a list to join a course or program when the enrollment cap has been reached. Learn more about enrollment cap limits in Catalog.
When a student drops out of the course or program, the first student on the wait list will be added to the course. You can manage each course or program and view the list of students who have added their names to the wait list. Learn more about the wait list process for students.
If no students drop a course or program, you can manually add students to a course from a wait list by changing the enrollment cap.

How do I add a category to a catalog?
When managing catalog categories, you can create categories for your catalog and subcatalogs. Categories are created from tags added to course or program listings, as well as subcatalog names.
Any categories in the parent catalog can automatically apply to subcatalogs. However, you can choose to create your own categories for a subcatalog.
- When viewing the parent catalog, the subcatalog list displays all subcatalogs in the account.
- When viewing a subcatalog and inheriting categories is disabled, the subcatalog list is filtered to only show subcatalogs that descend directly from the subcatalog you are viewing.
- The tags list always shows tags from all subcatalogs across the entire account.
Note: In subcatalogs, you cannot add a new category if the subcatalog is inheriting categories from another catalog.
