Catalog

The catalog includes entities that are intended for employees of your organization who are involved in conceptualizing product packaging and licensing plans. A typical user for catalog and its elements is a product manager. The catalog is made up of the following entities:

>Namespaces: Namespaces create a workspace partition in Sentinel EMS. If your organization maintains different product lines, you can maintain a different namespace for each product line and define multiple products in it. Namespaces also allow you to provide permissions to users accessing the catalog elements in a specific namespace.

>Features: A feature is a distinct functionality of a software application that can be independently licensed. Features are the basic building blocks of a product. One or more features can be bundled into a product according to your product monetization model.

>Products: A product is a salable entity that can contain one or more features. It is a software application, hardware or service that can be ordered or licensed according to your licensing plan.

>License Models : A license model defines the licensing conditions that control the use of a feature in a product.
