On the landing page, catalog items are organized into two main tabs:
  • Provisioning:
    Supports Day‑1 activities such as provisioning and creating environments.
  • Operations:
     Supports Day‑2 activities such as managing and performing actions on provisioned workloads.
Within each tab, catalog items are displayed in two sections:
  • Account Specific:
     Shows catalog items that are already activated for the account.
  • All:
    Shows all available catalog items. Once activated, these items appear in the Account Specific section.
