Catalogue

The Catalogue is your agency's central product library. Products are stored once and reused across all your projects.

info

In the Archispec interface, the Catalogue menu corresponds to this agency library. Project products are separate and accessible from each project's Products tab.

  1. In the main menu, click Catalogue
  2. The list of agency products appears

The catalogue shows all agency products, including those from projects you are not a member of. Duplicated products are hidden to avoid duplicates.
