At the top of the Catalogue Explorer window is the tool bar with the following tools:
Select catalogues...
Select catalogues... : Opens the Catalogue Details dialog where catalogues can be installed / uninstalled. This dialog can be accessed from Control Panel as well.
If you have the Catalogue Browser enabled, the Data Symbol Extension will automatically be enabled.
This dialog allows you to filter and search for designated publishers, manufacturers, product catalogues, and portfolio IDs.
The tree view in Catalogue Details has multiple levels explaining different types of information:
- Publisher, or API publisher key.
- Manufacturer that the catalogue belongs to.
- Poduct catalogue name - based on the product catalogue code set in the Catalogue Creator.
- Portfolio ID when more than one catalogue with the same product catalogue code are found (disregarding the file name). Users who try to turn on all catalogues in the fourth level will receive a pop-up message and all catalogues will be turned on and downloaded.
More information will be shown on the side section if an item in the tree view is clicked:
Information of cloned catalogues are shown in the portfolio info.
Just like Extension Details, clicking the Turn on or Turn off button when a folder is selected will affect all subfolders. Click the Available Offline button to download catalogue content to a local directory, and the content will be synced if there is any update available. The Online only button however will not sync the downloaded content. All buttons come with mouse-over tooltips.
