Use the table below to help you add a new catalog or edit its properties.
Table: Catalog Properties
| Field | Description |
| Title | Enter the name of the Catalog. This is the name users see in the Catalog Browser, Catalog Search, and Home or Widget Page. This field is mandatory. |
| Reference Code |
Enter an optional reference code. This appears in parenthesis after the title in the Catalog List Maintenance page. It is not visible to learners. You can use reference codes to help course administrators identify the correct courses to assign to catalogs when catalogs are available in multiple languages. With a reference code assigned to a catalog, administrators will be able to assign modules to all catalogs that have the same reference code without having to understand the title in different languages. |
| Comments | Enter optional comments about the catalog (for example, elaborate on the types of courses to include). |
| Language |
If your PeopleFluent Learning supports multiple languages, and you want to display the catalog in the learners' preferred language, select Multi-Language from the drop-down list. To display the catalog only in a specific language, select it from the drop-down list. |
| Responsible Party | Enter the name of the person who controls or organizes the materials assigned to the catalog. |
| Catalog Display Format |
Select the catalog display format from the drop-down list. This determines how catalogs are displayed in the Catalog Browser, and has more options for the legacy user interface (UI). There is a separate System Configuration setting for the catalog display format in the Catalog Search results. For visually stimulating navigation in the legacy UI, PeopleFluent recommends using Format 3 for the top-level catalog, and Format 1 or 2 for individual catalogs. See the table below for descriptions of the catalog display formats. |
| Picture |
Click the browse icon to select the image to display when the Catalog Display Format includes a picture. Alternatively, you can enter the path to the image as an absolute or relative URL. In the Catalog Maintenance List page, you can assign random images to catalogs and courses that have no images assigned. Images are displayed in different aspect ratios in the legacy user interface (UI) and new responsive UI. In the legacy UI, to see the whole image in the catalog, it must be no bigger than 150 x 150 pixels. In the new responsive UI, images are displayed in approximately a 16:9 width-to-height ratio. Any image size greater than 500 pixels wide can be used and will be scaled without distortion to fit. |
