To display an catalog record, the role object "Catalog" must be set to View as a minimum.
To access organization, department, or asset location data, the organization, department, or asset location must be included in your data profile.

To view detailed item information:

From Materials Management main Contents, select Inventory > Item Catalog. The Item Catalog list appears.
Locate the item of interest in the list. See Search a List for information on sorting and searching lists.

Some item numbers in the list may show a small arrow marker on the right side. The arrow marker links to more information about the item. The information may include an item picture, an MSDS, and / or contract information for the item. Set your cursor over the arrow to see the type of information available. Click the arrow to view the information.

Field values in the list -- such as an item number -- may be underlined. An underline means that the value links to other information on the web, such as an item picture or vendor web page. Click the underlined field to view links that you can select.

Note: If your user profile restricts you from displaying financial data, fields on any of the tabs for this panel that normally display financial information (such as unit prices, average cost, inventory value) contain "{restricted data}."

Click the i beside the item or select Menu > Inquiry.
The Item Catalog Inquiry page, Figure 1, appears.
Note: Depending on features enabled for your site, more details may appear on the "Item Catalog Inquiry" page than those displayed in Figure 1.
