Administrator Guide

Create and Manage a Catalog
The Manage Catalog page allows you to create and modify one or more custom update catalogs.
Before you can create an update catalog, you must add one or more Dell device models to your repository. When you create a
catalog, those model names display allowing you to decide which models to include in each catalog.
The Manage Catalog page also lists the catalogs that you created. Each catalog definition contains one or more models and the
operating systems you selected for updates.
Create a new catalog
To create a catalog:
1. On Overview > Catalog Management, click Manage Catalogs.
2. In the upper right of the Manage Catalog page, click Create Catalog.
The wizard opens.
3. Enter a name and description for this catalog, maximum of fifty characters each.
For multiple catalogs, plan descriptive names that clearly identify the contents. Later, when you or other administrators must
select from a list, you can distinguish them. For example:
● If you upgrade an existing catalog with new drivers, you could include the date or fiscal year or driver name to distinguish
it from a previous version of the catalog.
● If the catalog includes several models, use a descriptive name.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Model Selection screen, select one or more names from the list. Options display based on the model names you
added in Model Management.
The wizard displays the number of model names you selected. The maximum to select is 40.
Select at least one model name to enable Next.
6. Click Next.
A list of operating systems displays.
7. Select the applicable operating systems from the list.
8. Click Next.
9. Review the Summary screen and click Create Catalog.
