Enhanced catalog

Business end users can request services through the enhanced catalog, a consumer-friendly app store experience. The enhanced catalog provides enriched profiles and categories for service items, bundles, and promotional banners to help self-service users learn more about the services in your organization.

To set up the enhanced catalog in your organization, catalog administrators must have a license to use the BMC Digital Workplace Catalog application.
