Catalog Display

In Catalog Display, settings allow to:

  1. Set to display or hide listing of Categories.
  2. Select tile or list layout:
    • If you select "List", you can additionally set the number of columns in Catalog List view manually or choose to inherit it from your Theme.
    • NOTE: If you set the number of columns manually here, this setting will override the Catalog List view configuration set by your Theme.
  3. Set default:
    • Folder;
    • Filter;
    • Tag;
    • Group.
  4. Select Start Page to be displayed: Drop-down contains the Portal Pages you are authorized to view.
  5. Set automatic refresh frequency (set higher to reduce refresh frequency, if necessary).
  6. Set default display for inaccessible tiles:
    • Locked Tiles: Contain locked indicators and/or blurred images;
    • Hidden: Can be shown by selecting "Show them" on the banner on Catalog.

For External Report set as "internal" but "discoverable to users without access", the system allows to blur their image, set a request to grant access, upload custom review page, and customize access denied message.

For unauthorized users:

  1. Some tiles require granting access (locked, but are discoverable), or
  2. Inaccessible tiles can be hidden or shown

For more information, see Set Custom Access Requests.
