Default & custom catalogs
The Catalogs page lists the Default Catalog and every custom catalog, with how many products and customers each holds.
Who uses it
- Supplier staff with read access to catalogs; full access to change them.
How it works
Default Catalog. "This catalog includes all products and is shown to all customers by default." It has no editing of its own: its prices are the products' own prices, changed on Products. View shows its products and the customers that use it.
Custom Catalogs. "Create a Custom Catalog to show selected products and prices to certain customers. Customers assigned to custom catalogs will not see the Default Catalog." Each row shows the catalog name, Products, Customers, Last Updated and Actions (View, Edit). Create Custom Catalog opens the wizard.
A warning appears on a catalog that has a product priced at $0: "One or more products in this catalog are priced at $0."
Which catalog does a customer get? The one assigned to them. With none, the Default Catalog.
Where it shows up
The Catalogs page, a catalog's own page, and the catalog chosen on an order.
Permissions
Catalogs: read access to view, full access to create, edit or delete.
FAQ
Can I rename the Default Catalog? No. "Default Catalog" is a reserved name and cannot be used for a custom catalog either.
Two catalogs, same name? Names are unique per supplier, ignoring capitals: "A catalog with this name already exists."
