Managing Catalogs
The Catalog Manager makes it easy to work with the different catalogs you may have on your computer. In the Catalog Manager, catalogs are organized in different ways: accessible by all users, accessible by the current user, and custom location. When you select one of these options, the catalogs in that category appear below in the list. After you select a catalog, you can use the buttons in the Catalog Manager to rename, move, remove, optimize (re-builds data for efficiency), and repair (corrects structure errors) it for better use.
