# Catalogs

Catalogs are table views that allow you to easily track and explore information about your entities. Each [blueprint](/basic-concepts/blueprints.md) has a dedicated catalog that lists all entities of that type (e.g., the service catalog, the resource catalog, etc.).

You can access each individual catalog through the side panel entry in the Software Catalog—a term referring to the collection of all your catalogs.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can tailor your Software Catalog to your specific needs by pinning or hiding blueprints in the sidebar, allowing for quick access to frequently used catalogs and minimising clutter.
{% endhint %}

In each catalog, columns can represent a metadata field, a property, or a relationship defined in the blueprint and thus common to all the entities listed.

Catalogs offer customisation options to enhance your navigation and data management experience. You can:

* Choose which columns to display
* Re-order columns 
* Group entities by one or more specific fields
* Sort data by any field
* Apply text filters

{% hint style="info" %}
 You can save your view configurations so they become the new standard for a specific catalog **to all users within your organization**.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rely.io/basic-concepts/catalogs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
