Software Catalog UI

Mia-Platform Software Catalog tracks and stores information about all the components that make up your infrastructure. You can view all the items by navigating to Software Catalog > All Items. Additionally, you can explore the item details.

Items discovery​

Upon accessing the Software Catalog frontend, users are directed to the main section of the catalog, where they will find a search bar that serves as the starting point for navigating through the items. Given the extensive range of items that can be retrieved with this tool, users can refine their search results by setting the search context and utilizing advanced filtering options.

Advanced filters​

The advanced filters enable users to refine their search based on the following criteria.

  • Type: filter items by their specific type or category.
  • Lifecycle status: narrow down items according to their current lifecycle phase (e.g., Coming Soon, Stable, Deprecated).
  • Availability: this filter determines whether an item is accessible to all companies, visible to any user accessing the Console (even unauthenticated users), or restricted to the current company only.

Additionally, users can toggle between viewing items that are specific to the company they are working in or all available items.
