Create a new catalog

About this task

If your PCs do not connect to Dell, you can only create a Model catalog in Connect and manage. This catalog allows you to select up to 80 individual business PC models such as Latitude, Precision, OptiPlex, and XPS. For more than 80 device models, create an additional catalog.

Steps

  1. From the TechDirect dashboard, go to Connect and manage > Manage PC fleet > Connect and manage PCs > Manage > Update catalogs.
  2. Click Create catalog.
    The Create new catalog page is displayed.
  3. In the Catalog type section, enter a catalog name and description, and click Next.
  4. In the PC model selection section, select the PC line of business and PC models that you want to include in the catalog, and then click Next.
  5. In the OS selection section, select the operating systems for the PC models, and click Next.
  6. In the Update type section, perform the following steps:
    1. From the Select update type list, select the updates that you want to include in the catalog.
      The PC updates include drivers, BIOS, firmware, and Dell applications.
    2. Click Next.
  7. In the Criticality type section, perform the following steps:
    1. From the Select criticality type list, select the type of updates that you want to include in the catalog.
      Depending on the severity, PC updates are classified as follows:
      • Critical—updates that are necessary to ensure that the PCs are healthy.
      • Recommended—updates that improve the performance of your PCs.
      • Optional—updates that you can choose to install on the PCs.
    2. Click Next.
  8. Click Create.

Results

The catalog is created with the latest components preselected and is displayed in the Catalog list section of the Update catalogs page.
