Catalog

The Catalog tab displays a list of all destinations available in Platform, that you can send data to.

The Platform user interface provides a number of search and filter options on the destinations catalog page:

  • Use the search functionality on the page to locate a specific destination.
  • Filter destinations using the Categories control.
  • Toggle between All destinations and My destinations. When All destinations is selected, all available Platform destinations are displayed. When My destinations is selected, you can only see the destinations with which you have established a connection.
  • Select to view Connections and/or Extensions. To understand the difference between the two categories, see Destination Types and Categories.
