Catalog operations

Creating the catalog is the first step in the request process and is one of the most important parts of the Request Management setup process.

The catalog includes three primary files: the model, modelvendor, and vendor files. The model table is a list of items and bundled items available for request, the vendor file is a list of vendors, and the modelvendor table connects the two.

An administrator with rights to create catalog items configures the system, and most operators have rights to access existing catalogs only. Operators do not have editorial control; they cannot add items to the catalog that are not already defined.
