Service Catalog Page

A service catalog page contains:

  1. a breadcrumbs widget that allows users to navigate within the structure of portal pages.
  2. a sidemenu widget that adds a side menu.
  3. a category widget that contains tiles that represent catalog elements (categories and requests).

These widgets interact with each other due to the server and client logic.

The page references the dedicated portal node with the following attributes:

  • The Enable dynamic nodes attribute is active.

You can configure this page in different ways:

  • define the conditions to display categories and their items
  • define the nesting level of the categories
  • specify the displaying order of the categories.

To bind a catalog record with a portal record, make the settings in the Portal Node (portal_node) record.

The service catalog page looks as shown on the screenshot below:

The screenshot legend:

  1. Side navigation menu, displaying the current category and its items
  2. Breadcrumbs facilitating navigation within the portal pages structure
  3. The category items themselves

To configure breadcrumbs, use the attribute values as in the example below. Type these values in the Template field of the <breadcrumbs> widget form:

breadcrumbs
<div class="portal__breadcrumbs">
  <breadcrumbs>
</div>

Sidemenu configuration​

To configure a sidemenu widget, use the following template:

sidemenu
<div class="portal__side-menu__tag">
  <SideMenu 
    parentsDepth="0" 
    childrenDepth="5" 
    includeCategories="1" 
    includeItems="1"
  ></SideMenu>
</div>

Category widget configuration​

To configure the category widget for a REM service catalog, use the following template in the widget instance of REM Catalog Request List:

Category widget configuration for a REM service catalog
<div class="portal-catalog-list">
  <Category 
    categorySubject="subject" 
    categoryDescription="description" 
    categoryIcon="image" 
    itemSubject="subject" 
    itemDescription="description" 
    itemIcon="image" 
    date="sys_created_at" 
    user="sys_created_by"
  ></Category>
</div>

Or use the following template in the widget instance of Service Catalog List to configure the category widget for a template service catalog:

Category widget configuration for a template service catalog
<div class="portal-catalog-list">
  <Category 
    categorySubject="name" 
    categoryDescription="description" 
    categoryIcon="image" 
    itemDescription="description" 
    itemSubject="name" 
    itemIcon="image"
  ></Category>
</div>
caution

The template service catalog is considered deprecated. It is recommended to use REM service catalog instead.
