Building Catalogues

From your Navigation panel, navigate to ‘Content Solutions’ and select ‘Catalogue Manager’ to begin building your catalogues.

**Step 1: Naming your Catalogue** Depending on what type of Itineraries and Chapters you would like inside your Catalogue, you would name it according to that. You will notice that when you navigate away from naming the Catalogue, that it will automatically change the name in the list of Catalogues. This does **NOT** mean that the Catalogue is saved.  Next, choose the language of the Catalogue and 'Save'. When you have saved, the button will turn green and the link to your Catalogue will be generated.

**Step 2: Creating a Chapter** Click on 'Add Chapter' to begin building the first Chapter in your Catalogue. Give the Chapter a name and choose between a type that will make up the Chapter - iBrochures or Sample Itineraries. You can only have one type per Chapter - ie you cannot build one Chapter including iBrochures and Sample Itineraries.

**Step 3: Populating a Chapter** Select 'Add Item' to begin adding your Sample Itineraries to your Chapter. You will have to filter your Itineraries either by Name, Type, Category or Reference in order to search for the correct one as Published Day Tours can also be added to your Catalogues. If searching by name, you will have to type in the name of the itinerary to allow you to add it. In this case, we have used Name and filtered by typing 'Cape Town'. Then tick the boxes for the Sample Itineraries you wish to add to the Chapter of the Catalogue and click 'Add Selected Items' at the bottom of the page.

Once you have added the Itineraries to your Chapter, they will be listed under the Chapter heading. You can rearrange the order of the itineraries in the Chapter by using drag and drop.

Repeat Step 2 and 3 to add additional Chapters to this Catalogue. 

You can view your Catalogue by clicking on the 'View' button at the top of the Catalogue. The link to the Catalogue will only reflect what was last saved.

To change the image that appears on your Catalogue, click on the little image icon next to your Itinerary.

A pop-up will appear and it will show the current cover image. You can then select from a list of available images on the system or upload your own from your computer. 

The purpose of the Rack Builder is to group two or more Catalogues together to produce one hyperlink. To navigate to the Rack Builder, click on the drop-down menu in the top left corner and select 'Rack'. 

As with the Catalogue, the Rack Builder will open a new Untitled Rack unless you have existing Racks, in which case the Rack Builder will open on the first Rack in the list of Racks. To start building a new Rack, click on  'Add new catalogue +'.

**Step 1: Naming and Language** Give this rack a name. You will notice that when you navigate away from naming the rack, it will automatically change the name in the list of racks. This does not mean that the rack is saved. Next, choose the language of the rack and save. When you have saved, the button will turn into a tick, and the link to your catalogue will be generated.
