Assign a Default Product Catalog Dataset

Any product catalog dataset that you create is available in all the account instances you've set up in your Monetate integration. Because certain features and functions can only use a specific product catalog, you should assign a default product catalog to each account instance.

Follow these steps to make a product catalog dataset the default one for an account instance.

  1. Click DATASETS in the top navigation bar, and then, if necessary, select Product Data.
  2. Click DEFAULT CATALOG ASSIGNMENTS.

    Callout of the 'DEFAULT CATALOG ASSIGNMENTS' button on the Product Catalogs list page

  3. In the Default Catalog Assignments modal, select a product catalog from DEFAULT CATALOG for the account instance you're working in.

    Callout of the DEFAULT CATALOG selector for an account instance's domain on the 'Default Catalog Assignments' modal. The domain doesn't have a default product catalog dataset selected.

  4. Optionally, repeat the previous step for any other account instance that doesn't have a default product catalog.
  5. Click the checkbox to acknowledge you understand the possible implications of assigning default product catalogs, and then click SAVE.

    Callout of the checkbox accompanying the acknowledgement statement and of the 'SAVE' button on the 'Default Catalog Assignments' modal

When a product catalog dataset is assigned as the default catalog for one or more account instances, then a message in the CONNECTED DOMAINS column for that dataset on the Product Catalogs view of the Datasets list page indicates as much. When your mouse pointer hovers on the message, a tooltip appears that lists the specific domains for which the dataset is the default catalog.
