The efficiently Catalog contains over 5 million items, maintained by our dedicated catalog team. Your org can also create custom items, which appear only within your organization’s catalog.
In this module we’ll learn how to Add your own items and search the Catalog effectively.
Catalog Structure
All catalog items are organized by Division and Type:
Division is the broad category (e.g., Appliances, Furnishings, Lighting, Plumbing).
Type is the specific item group within that Division (e.g., Dishwasher, Coffee Table, Chandelier, Bathtub).
Sub-Type adds another layer of refinement for certain items. For example, Round is a subtype for coffee table
Adding Items to the Catalog
There are two ways to add items to the Catalog:
Directly inside the platform
Using the Clipp’d Chrome Plugin (recommended for fastest item clipping)
Manually add Items to the Catalog
Step By Step Guide
Go to the Catalog tab and select Add Item.
Choose the Division and Type, then enter item details and images.
By default, items are added to the Org Catalog.
To save an item to a specific project list, select the project at the top under Save to Org or Project.
Click Add Item.
If the Manufacturer or Supplier doesn’t exist yet, select Create New when prompted.
The new item will now appear in your catalog with an orange circle icon in the corner of the item image, indicating it was added by someone in your org. Items without this icon are added and maintained by the efficiently catalog team.
