The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter contains the following sections:
You can create a catalog item which define VM binding parameters such as cloud name and group name. Users can provision VMs using these predefined catalog items.
To aid in managing catalogs, Cisco UCS Director allows you to group similar catalogs within a folder. While creating a catalog, you can select a specific folder, which has been created earlier on. Optionally, you can create a new folder for the catalog. A folder is visible only when it contains a catalog.
If you have upgraded Cisco UCS Director to the latest version, then all catalogs created in prior versions are grouped into the folders available by default, based on the catalog type.
When you add a catalog, you can select the groups permitted to provision new VMs with it, and provide other basic information. The chosen application category determines which policies the vDC applies when the service is provided.
For Windows images, there are options for VM user credential access. User credentials for the VM in a template can be shared with other users, or reset before sharing. If shared, a user can retrieve credentials for the active VM.
