With the Catalog feature, you can organize and showcase your app’s content in a structured, user-friendly layout. A Catalog acts as a container or grouping mechanism that brings together multiple content items—allowing you to curate collections of related media and information for easy access and discovery.
Each catalog can include a mix of images, audio files, videos, external URLs, and locations, giving you the flexibility to present diverse content formats side by side. Whether you're building a media gallery, educational module, travel guide, or promotional section, catalogs help streamline how content is displayed and browsed by your users.
You can create as many catalogs as needed and assign any number of content items to each one. This enables powerful use cases like
- Categorizing tutorials by topic
- Grouping travel destinations with images, maps, and descriptions
- Creating themed media libraries or event directories
By combining the versatility of the Content Manager with the structure of Catalogs, you give your users a seamless and engaging way to explore what your app has to offer.
