Subcatalogs
Subcatalogs define service management entitlements for BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog users.
Catalog administrators create subcatalogs to distribute services, bundles, banners, service actions, and virtual marketplaces in the BMC Helix Digital Workplace Catalog among users (internal service suppliers, internal service supplier administrators) who manage catalog items. Catalog administrators can view and manage services in all catalogs and subcatalogs. Internal service suppliers can manage only the subcatalogs assigned to them
