    Note: You cannot modify the name and description of root-level folders (i.e., Personal, Public, and Baseline).

About Catalog Items

Catalog items are objects that are stored in the Predix Essentials database. Predix Essentials supports the following Catalog item types:

  • Dashboard
  • DataLoaderTemplate
  • Dataset
  • Graph
  • Metric Views
  • Projects
  • Queries
  • Report

  • RScript

    Rule Projects

    Note: Only administrator users can see Rule Projects.
  • Script
  • Search

When you select a folder in the Catalog folder hierarchy, the Catalog items that are stored in that folder appear in the grid within the workspace.

Each Catalog item has the following properties:

  • Name : The name of the item. Catalog item names are required, must be unique within a given folder. Catalog item names should not contain the following characters:
    • % (percent sign) followed by two hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f)

    • [] (square brackets)

      Note: This rule applies to queries only.

    If you create a Catalog item that contains any of these characters and then create a hyperlink to that item, an error message will appear when you try to open the item using the link.

  • Caption : The translatable value that is used to identify the Catalog item in most places throughout Predix Essentials. If a translation exists for the Culture associated with your Security User account, you will see that translation when you view the item in the Catalog.
