Use this tool to add a new catalog item to Kavi Showcase. You will have a chance to preview the catalog item before it is saved and becomes available to the public.
Note
A Catalog Item is potentially displayable if the Profile is displayable and the Catalog Item is active, approved and set to display publicly. For more information, see Gating Profile and Catalog Item Display.
The catalog item name and all other information is required.
- Name
Enter the name of the catalog item exactly as you want it to be displayed in the catalog.
- Profile
Select the profile to which this catalog item belongs. Each catalog item must be associated with a profile.
- Categories
Assign an appropriate category to this catalog item. The catalog item appears under this category heading when displayed. Depending on configuration, you may be able to assign multiple categories. All categories are custom to your organization, added by a 'Showcase Super Admin' through the Manage Catalog Item Categories tool.
After selecting the appropriate profile for the new catalog item, enter details to be displayed to the public.
- Contact
Select a contact from the list of available contact people. When a catalog item is displayed, the contact's full name and title is displayed along with link that allows visitors to contact them by email. Your organization may also allow catalog item contacts to edit catalog items to which they are assigned.
- Description
The Description allows you to enter either plain text or HTML. Line breaks in a plain text description are translated to HTML breaks when the description is displayed, so you can enter simple paragraphs and lists without using HTML. When using HTML, some browsers insert more space than may be desired into your description. To test whether the description needs revision, view through a different browser. To conserve space when the description is displayed, remove as many line breaks as possible.
- File
Upload a file for this catalog item. Visitors are more likely to download a file that has a meaningful filename and includes a filetype extension such as Brochure.pdf (rather than catitem_021502_draft).
- Keywords
Enter words and phrases that will help showcase visitors find this catalog item. Keywords are hidden from the public and should supplement the information in the Description. To learn more about how keywords are used in searching and browsing, see Searching and Browsing..
- Display Publicly
-
Should this Catalog Item be Displayed Publicly? Set this option to 'Yes' if it should be displayed publicly or 'No' if it should remain visible to administrators, profile owners and catalog item contacts only.
Note
If this is set to 'No', the catalog item will not be displayed to visitors searching or browsing the catalog.
- State
If catalog item moderation is enabled, you can set the catalog item state. Catalog items in states other than 'Approved' aren't eligible for display.
The preview shows exactly how your catalog item would look if viewed in the catalog. It doesn't display hidden fields, such as keywords.
You've just added a catalog item. If this organization reviews catalog items before they are added to the catalog, an email is automatically sent to moderators to request approval. If you have submitted this catalog item for compliance testing, an email is automatically sent to request acceptance for testing. If your organization doesn't have any of these requirements, your catalog item may become available in the catalog immediately. You can check by visiting the catalog and searching for your item.
