Overview
Catalogs structure product information by forming units containing specified products. For example, catalogs can be used to create assortment sections or supplier specific catalogs.
The status of catalogs can be important in different areas. It allows you to relatively easily check which catalogs are ready for sale and which have just been imported. It also shows whether or not the import has taken place successfully (to be reviewed in the log files), which catalogs require revision and which need to be removed from the system. Statuses can be freely defined.
See the Basic Actions page for more info on standard actions (search, sort, edit, delete etc.).
