Showcase Catalog
A Showcase Catalog is your public (or controlled-access) product storefront in Actualog. It is designed for discovery-first publishing: structured product profiles, technical content, and media — presented as a clean “product vitrine” that can be searched, filtered, and reused.
Showcase catalogs are ideal when your goal is visibility and trust, not negotiation.
When to use a Showcase Catalog
Use a Showcase Catalog to:
- publish a product line as a marketplace-style showcase
- create a public product directory for your website without building a custom catalog system
- present products for engineering selection (specifications, compliance, compatibility)
- support AI-driven discovery by keeping product information structured and consistently indexed
What a Showcase Catalog typically contains
- curated product set (from your company workspace)
- product profiles with structured attributes (specs, performance, compliance)
- images and technical documents (datasheets, manuals, certificates)
- category structure and tags (communities/facets) to improve navigation and filtering
Usually does not include pricing.
If you need commercial terms, use a Sales Catalog.
Publishing and embedding
A Showcase Catalog can be:
- published inside Actualog as a storefront
- embedded into external websites and portals (controlled by permissions)
Best practices
- Focus on product comparability: ensure key attributes are filled for every product.
- Attach authoritative documents (datasheets, certificates) — they drive trust.
- Keep it evergreen: update products once, and the catalog stays current everywhere it is published.
