Shared Catalogs is a read-only portal where you can browse and export product information shared with you by a catalog publisher. To access a Shared Catalog, you must first create an account using an invitation email sent by the catalog publisher.
Create a Shared Catalogs account from an invitation email
When a catalog publisher adds you as a recipient, you receive an invitation email from Shared Catalogs. You need this email to create your account — without it, you cannot sign up independently. If you believe you should have access to a catalog but have not received an invitation, contact the person who manages your Shared Catalogs access.
The screenshot above shows the Shared Catalogs invitation email with the Let's Start button used to begin account creation.
- In the invitation email, click Let's Start. You are redirected to the password creation page in Shared Catalogs.
- Enter a password that meets the following requirements:
- At least 8 characters
- At least 1 uppercase letter
- At least 1 lowercase letter
- At least 1 number
- Confirm your password and submit the form.
The screenshot above shows the Shared Catalogs password creation page with the password requirements listed.
You are redirected to the Shared Catalogs login page. Enter your email address and the password you just created to access your catalog.
If you already have a Shared Catalogs account and a catalog publisher adds you to a new catalog, you are automatically redirected to the login page instead of the password creation page.
If you forget your password, click Forgot your password? on the login page to reset it and regain access to Shared Catalogs.
