Hi All,

 

We are in plan to make use of catalog builder to give access to catalog owners to builder their own catalog and modify.

 

I have few queries.

 

1. Can we make any custom field available in catalog builder ?

2. As per my understanding we can add variable sets in templates not individual variables?

3.If owner wants to set just one group as assignment group , how can we achieve that ?

4. Allowing exiting Catalog Owners to make verbiage updates to existing variables in their Catalog items.

5. Allowing exiting Catalog Owners to update Help-text field of variable.

6. For variables with type “Select Box”, making Question choices accessible to Catalog Owners so that they can update verbiage if needed

 

Thanks

Roopa

Hi,

old questions, yet I landed to this posting before I found  hints in another posting.
Therefore let me just give few answers, to help next visitor of this posting.

 

PS: this is based on Xanadu release

1. Can we make any custom field available in catalog builder ?

 

2. As per my understanding we can add variable sets in templates not individual variables?

  • Correct, in templates I just see option to add question set (Variable set).

3.If owner wants to set just one group as assignment group , how can we achieve that ?

  • I don't get what you mean. For the case of Catalog Item, it will go to 1 assignment group. 
  • If you want to create multiple records (e.g. SCTASK) all need to be done in the flow

 

4. Allowing exiting Catalog Owners to make verbiage updates to existing variables in their Catalog items.

5. Allowing exiting Catalog Owners to update Help-text field of variable.

6. For variables with type “Select Box”, making Question choices accessible to Catalog Owners so that they can update verbiage if needed

 

I am not certain on what you want, if I guess correctly you just want to permit catalog owners to edit the catalog items. However I could not find way to do that, as it seems that everyone who need to edit need these roles, and there is no further restrictions:

  • catalog_admin
  • catalog_builder_editor
  • catalog_template_editor

 

Hope that helps.
