For Admins: Adding a new Catalog to Canvas Catalog

-
This assumes all policy requirements have been satisfied; those are outside the scope of this tutorial.

 Scenario 1: Create a Catalog
Step 1: Login to Catalog as an Admin
Step 2: Click "Catalogs" in the top navigation menu, then "+ Catalog"
Step 3: For URL type, choose Path, then set the following options:


  • Name: A human-readable name for your catalog
  • Path: A unique string of lower case letters, numbers, and dashes. This will go to building a URL so people can access your catalog directly.
  • Parent catalog: Admins for the parent catalog will have rights in this new catalog too.
  • About: A short description of your Catalog


Step 4:
Click "Save"

 Scenario 2: Add an Admin to the Catalog
Step 1: Login to Catalog as an Admin
Step 2: Click "Subcatalog Admins" in the top navigation menu
Step 3: In the Account Admins search box, find the person you want to add as an admin. Note they must exist in https://uthealth.instructure.com as a user before you can add them here.
Step 4: Select a catalog where this new user will have admin rights, then click + Subcatalog Admin
This will give the new user the ability to create/modify listings and programs in their Catalog.
