Managing Catalog Contents
Service Providers can approve or reject packages that have been submitted for inclusion in the catalog, specify categories, and determine the order in which packages appear.
To manage application packages and categories:
Service Provider URL: http://{yourDomain}/networking/Service?t=1&targetpage=ViewPort.jsp
Settings > Service Provider Settings > Manage Catalog
Note: To view the catalog option when creating a new application, Marketplace Service Domain field should be blank under Community Site Configuration section of the Configure Service Settings page.
- Categories
- Add and delete categories. Specify category names.
- Catalog
- View the current Catalog
- Approve Packages
- Review Packages pending approval
- User can either:
- [Approve] package for publication to the catalog
- [Reject] package, and deny publication to the catalog
- In either case, an email is sent to the submitter, to tell them the outcome.
- Learn more: Package Approval or Rejection
- Select Packages
- Choose the packages to display in the Catalog
- Move a package to the Visible column to display it in the catalog
- Move a package to the Hidden column to remove it from the catalog
- Set the order of the Packages
Important: Including a package in the catalog is a two-step process. First it must be approved. Then it must be moved to the Visible column, in whatever order you choose.
Publishing Packages to the Catalog
After publishing a package, a developer can provide information displayed for it when included in the marketplace/catalog. While editing or reviewing the information, the package can be submitted for inclusion in the catalog.
