This guide introduces the catalog feature, which avoids you to add a filtering interface to your app as Akeneo PXM Studio already does it.

This guide introduces the catalog feature. With catalogs, you will save time during development because Akeneo PXM Studio
6
+
will manage your **product selection** and give you direct access to the relevant data.

With catalogs, you don't need to develop interfaces about filtering products, locales or attributes.

### What's a catalog?

With catalogs, Akeneo users can configure which products they want to share with your app thanks to a **product selection** composed of one or several criteria that allow you to filter products.

A catalog is a selection of products defined by one or several criteria. (families, categories, ...)
12
+
13
+
Catalogs are only created by apps and are configured by Akeneo users themselves from Akeneo PXM Studio. This feature is
14

only visible if the app manage catalogs.

When your app uses catalogs to retrieve product data, it automatically enables the Catalogs tab and creates catalogs in Akeneo.

### Step 1: Ask for catalog scopes

In the documentation [Ask for authorizations](/apps/authentication-and-authorization.html#step-2-ask-for-authorizations),
47
+
you discovered how to ask for scopes.
48
+
49
+
If you want to manage catalogs, you need to ask for 4 scopes:
50
+
-`read_products`
51
+
-`read_catalogs`
52
+
-`write_catalogs`
53
+
-`delete_catalogs`
54
+
55
+
Once these scopes are accepted by Akeneo users during the installation of your app, you will be able to manage and use
56
+
catalogs.

By default, when you create a catalog in the Akeneo PXM Studio, the catalog is disabled. It means that, until a user hasn't enabled it, you won't be able to retrieve products for this catalog. Note that only users can enable a catalog.

You should create a catalog with the more descriptive name possible. It will help your users to know how to configure it.

Catalogs created **are always disabled by default** in the Akeneo PXM Studio. Only Akeneo users are able to enable a

catalog. You must wait for one of your user to enable it before using it.
