Search-based catalogs automatically discover presentations matching specific search criteria. When you create a search-based catalog, only presentations you have read and write permissions are included in it.
To add a search-based catalog:
1. Click Publishing > Catalogs > Add Catalog and enter a name and description for the catalog that will help you and other users identify it easily.
2. Specify a Friendly Name for the catalog to customize its URL. This value will replace the catalog ID number in the URL. For example, if you give a catalog “mycatalog” as its friendly name. the URL uses this name instead of the catalog ID:
URL using catalog ID:
http://myserver.mynetwork.net/Mediasite/Catalog/Full/ ed968dc9872f456e93500b35872b334e21
URL using mycatalog as the friendly name
http://myserver.mynetwork.net /Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/mycatalog
3. Select the Restrict catalog application editing to the owner check box so only the catalog owner can launch the catalog in edit mode.
4. (Optional) If you are integrating your catalog into a Learning Management System using modules, click Add Module to link the module you want to your catalog.
5. From the Add content to this catalog...drop-down list, select automatically by using a search term.
6. Specify the search term and select the check box next to the presentation metadata you want included in the search. For example, if you want to search only titles and tags, select the check box next to each of these items. Click Save.
7. In the catalog list, click View catalog below the catalog you just created to launch it in the Catalog application.
8. Click Edit to open the catalog, in edit mode, in a separate browser tab. Customize the catalog as needed. Once you have made all your changes, click Save.
