Setting the default catalog for an extended site
Before you begin
About this task
If you are using extended sites, and plans to use the default catalog, your site can have multiple default catalogs set. You can have a default catalog for your asset store and potentially a separate default catalog for each of your extended site stores. If you set the default catalog at the asset store level that default catalog is inherited as the default catalog for the extended site stores. If you set the default catalog at the extended site store level the specified catalog is the default catalog for only the extended site store. Setting the default catalog at the extended site store, replaces any inherited asset store default catalog for the extended site store.
In the default catalog properties when you access the Default Catalog in the explorer filter, two default catalog tables display. The top table is for setting the default catalog at the asset store level. The bottom table is for setting the default catalog at the extended site store level. When working at the extended site level, the asset store default catalog table is read-only and displays the default catalog that is set at the asset store level. The extended site store default catalog table is for setting the default catalog for the specific extended site store you are working in.
