Administrator's release notes: Applications & components catalog maintenance
Keep the Applications & components catalog organized and usable.
For more
information, see:
Set
XS_COMPONENT_CATALOG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_EDIT to
TRUE to be able to edit the
Applications & components catalog definition files that are located in the
XS_SYSTEM folders.
Check and fix the following:
1. Add items to groups
Check the Ungrouped items group and add the items to the appropriate group.
2. Check the logs for errors
The Applications & components catalog shows the message log 
button in the lower-right corner of
the catalog if there are errors or warnings, such as errors in the catalog
definition files.
If there are references to missing plug-ins, go to the referred ComponentCatalog.xml and remove the references manually:
Thoroughly test that these changes do not create any further errors or change the structure of your Applications & components catalog. Check at least the Ungrouped items and Legacy catalog groups.
As in the example above, there might be errors for:
CatalogPluginComponentItem?CopyModelDirectoryPluginCatalogPluginComponentItem?SaveAsModelTemplatePlugin
3. Hide all non-related applications and components from roles
- In the Ungrouped items catalog, select Show hidden items at the bottom.
- Right-click an application or a component and select Hide / Unhide.
4. Create custom thumbnails
Publish a component in the Applications & components catalog
You might need to use the same component with different settings in different cases. To easily use the component, you can define the settings for each case and publish the component in the catalog. This feature can be useful for some roles.
