Catalog

Create reusable catalog records for products, offers, plans, collections, and recommendations

Catalog stores reusable rows of structured data that can be referenced by a project. Use it when the MP5 experience needs a managed list of products, plans, offers, store locations, loyalty tiers, recommendations, or other repeatable records.

Catalog has two parts:

• Dynamic Data schema defines the catalog item and the fields every row should contain.

• Catalog rows store the actual reusable records that Platform users can create, edit, duplicate, preview, and save.

The Catalog page only becomes editable after the project has a catalog item in Settings > Dynamic Data. If the schema is missing, Catalog shows setup guidance and an Open Dynamic Data button.

A saved `products` catalog with product images, recommendation copy, category, price, URL, and row actions.

When to Use Catalog

Use a catalog when the same kind of record appears in several places or changes independently from individual viewer data.

Use case	Catalog example	How the MP5 can use it
E-commerce recommendations	Products with name, image, price, category, URL, and recommendation copy	Show the best product for a viewer, update product details centrally, and route clicks to the product page.
Offers and promotions	Discount code, headline, expiry date, legal copy, and CTA URL	Rotate campaign offers without changing each viewer record.
Plan comparison	Plan name, monthly price, included features, and upgrade link	Present the right subscription plan based on viewer segment.
Store or branch lookup	Location name, address, manager, opening hours, and map URL	Personalize local store information in the video.
Loyalty tiers	Tier name, points threshold, perk image, and reward text	Show the viewer's current tier or next-tier benefit.

Create a Catalog Item

1

Open Dynamic Data

In the project, go to Settings > Dynamic Data.

Use Add Catalog Item to create the schema section that powers Catalog rows.

2

Add the Catalog Item

Select Add Catalog Item and name the catalog item after the row type, such as products, plans, offers, locations, or loyalty_tiers.

For an e-commerce recommendation catalog, use a clear item name such as products.

The catalog item name creates the section that appears under `catalog` in Dynamic Data.

3

Define the Row Fields

Add fields under the catalog item so every row has the same structure. A product recommendation catalog commonly includes:

Field	Type	Example value
name	Text	CalmRoot Sleep Drops
image	Image URL	Product image URL
price	Text or number	29 USD
category	Text	Sleep support
url	Link	Product detail page URL
recommendation_copy	Text	Best for winding down after a long day.

4

Review the Schema Example

Use code mode when you want to paste or review a full JSON example for the catalog fields.

Code mode can show the `catalog.products` schema with fields such as `name`, `image`, `price`, `category`, `url`, and `recommendation_copy`.

5

Save the Schema

Select Save in Dynamic Data. After the save completes, open Catalog from the project navigation.

Add Catalog Rows

After the schema exists, use the Catalog page to manage the records.

1

Choose the Catalog Item

Open Catalog and select the item type you created, such as products.

2

Create a Row

Add a new row and fill every required field. For an e-commerce shop, one row might be:

Field	Value
name	CalmRoot Sleep Drops
image	Product image URL or uploaded product image
price	29 USD
category	Sleep support
url	https://your-store.com/products/calmroot-sleep-drops
recommendation_copy	Best for winding down after a long day.

Each catalog row uses the fields defined in Dynamic Data.

3

Add More Recommendations

Create additional rows for the other recommended items the video may show.

name	category	price	recommendation_copy
GlowElixir	Skin care	19 USD	For a glowing skin throughout the day
PureFuel	Energy	25 USD	Fuel up with clean energy
CalmRoot Sleep Drops	Sleep support	29 USD	Best for winding down after a long day

4

Save and Preview

Save the catalog rows. Use Simulate to preview the viewer experience with a test persona and confirm that the correct row values appear in the MP5.

Saved Catalog View

After the rows are saved, the Catalog page shows a table for the catalog item. In the products example, the table includes the row ID, name, image, recommendation_copy, category, price, url, and row actions.

Use the row actions to edit an item, duplicate it, or delete it. Use Create products item to add another product row with the same field structure.

Example JSON

Use this structure when planning a product recommendation catalog with a developer or when preparing sample data before building the schema:

{
  "catalog": {
    "products": {
      "name": "CalmRoot Sleep Drops",
      "image": "https://cdn.your-store.com/products/calmroot-sleep-drops.webp",
      "price": "29 USD",
      "category": "Sleep support",
      "url": "https://your-store.com/products/calmroot-sleep-drops",
      "recommendation_copy": "Best for winding down after a long day"
    }
  }
}

The catalog item defines the fields. The Catalog page stores the actual rows, such as GlowElixir, PureFuel, and CalmRoot Sleep Drops.

Catalog Management

Common catalog actions include:

• Create rows for new products, plans, offers, locations, or tiers.

• Edit rows when a name, price, image, CTA link, or description changes.

• Duplicate rows to create similar recommendations quickly.

• Preview row values before testing the full MP5 experience.

• Save after changing the schema or row data so the project uses the latest catalog values.
