This guide explains how to configure a template catalogue which is used when creating new catalogues and when using the Action on selected items - Add presentations function.
Version 4.5
This function is available in version 4.5 and later.
Overview
It is possible to configure a default node structure on catalogues. This default structure will be used when a new catalogue is created. This configuration will also be used to define where presentations are added when presentations are added to several catalogues using the Action on selected items - Add presentations function.
Configuration
The configuration is located in Catalogues.config in C:\ProgramData\Signifikant\Assert folder. A default configuration is generated automatically.

| PresentationTypeCode | The menu option may be valid for a presentation base type or a presentation code. If it is valid for a presentation which is not a base type, refer to the code of the presentation type using this tag. |
