Creating catalog sections for banners
As a BMC Helix Digital Workplace administrator, you can set up one or more catalog sections to display promotional banners to attract end users' attention to a particular service, promote calls to specific user actions, or provide general information. You can place the sections anywhere in the catalog where users can see them.
The banners themselves are created by catalog administrators who assign target devices and click actions and set banner visibility schedules.
Before you begin
Enable the enhanced catalog to make the option to display interactive promotional banners available.
To create a new catalog section for banners
You can create sections to contain a single banner, or multiple banners.
- In the Admin console, click Service Requests.

Using the language of the default locale, enter a section name.

- Select the preferred Sort order and Banner size.
The Auto-cycle option (carousel) to cycle through banner images is enabled by default. - Click Save.
- Arrange the row where the banner section should appear in the catalog.
