Chapter 15. Moderate Catalog Items

Overview

Showcase Admins use the Moderate Catalog Items tool to review new and edited catalog items and approve them for display in the organization's catalog or not. If you approve a catalog item, it's State is set to 'Approved'. If all other display conditions are met, the catalog item can be displayed in the catalog. You can also reject a catalog item by setting the State to 'Rejected', which makes the catalog item ineligible for display, but does not delete the item. Items set to 'Skip' remain in the moderation queue.

Use the Moderate Catalog Items tool to:

Review and take action on pending catalog items. You may approve those that are ready to be displayed in the showcase, reject those that should not be displayed and skip those that you don't wish to act upon at this time.

Categories

A category to which this catalog item is assigned. If this is a subcategory, the category hierarchy is displayed. Depending on configuration, you may be able to assign multiple categories.

These categories are used to classify the catalog item, and determine where the item is displayed in browses and how it is retrieved in searches.

Status

The catalog item owner can set the Display Publicly? switch to 'No' to keep their catalog item hidden. If this is set to 'No', the catalog item isn't displayed in the catalog (although it remains visible to the catalog item owner and administrators). If this is set to 'Yes', the catalog item is potentially displayable (i.e., it is displayed if all other factors that gate display are set to allow display).
