Creating a Catalog Classification

Catalog items can be classified as Preferred or Non-Preferred using Catalog Classification. Classification, which are displayed for each catalog in the Browse Catalog tab, are visible to end users when they are submitting an App Portal request. This helps the end user decide which catalog to create a request.

Note:A catalog item can have only single classification. In the above image, Adobe Dreamweaver CC is classified as White which is a Preferred type. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is classified as Grey which is Non-Preferred type.

To create a catalog classification, perform the following steps.
