== Do images taken with the CatalogIt app take up space on my mobile device? ==
CatalogIt doesn't store images taken in the app on your mobile device. This is on purpose so we don't consume your memory. The downside of not storing the photos on you device is in the event the upload fails or you forget to click Save then you have to retake the photos; but the upside is we don't contribute a bunch of images to your camera roll.
== How does CatalogIt Web publishing work? ==
Included with every CatalogIt Subscription is the ability to publish (selectively or comprehensively) to the Web via the CatalogIt HUB. Users set up their publishing profile with their logo, photo or avatar, and a background image, as well as a description of their institution or collection, then select which CatalogIt Folders they’d like to publish, and which data fields they’d like to share with the public. With a few clicks of the mouse, hundreds or even thousands of Entries can be published and made available, and searchable, to the world. For With an additional subscriptionto the CatalogIt API, CatalogIt can provide Accounts users with our API and iFrame integration or our WordPress plugin , enabling them to publish their collection with the same controls, directly to their own public Websitewebsite, seamlessly and attractively.
If you are a CatalogIt subscriber and would like to utilize the HUB please contact us at support@catalogit.app and we will enable it for your account and send you the HUB User Guide.
You have full and absolute control over your data. Only you and those you’ve authorized in your CatalogIt Account can view or edit your Account’s data. CatalogIt staff does not view or access any User or Account data without your express permission.
== Can I export my data and images from CatalogIt? ==Yes- you can easily export your data and your images at any time using the Export function in the Actions Menu.
== What kind of permission settings does CatalogIt have? Can users set their own permissions? ==
CatalogIt currently has three several permission levels: Owner, Read-Write and Read Only[[CatalogIt_Basics#Adding_Collaborators_. When a user is added to an account, the Account Owner assigns the new user one of those three permission levels28Users.29_to_your_Account|they can be found here]].
At present, Account Owners cannot modify permissions or create new roles. This DIY feature is coming soon, however. The Owner will be able to create new roles that control what kinds of information (entries, profiles, folders, images, etc.) a user can access, and the kind of tasks that each User can do with that information (i.e. view, create, edit, delete, etc.). The Account Owner will be able to define as many roles as they need and will be able to delete Users or reassign permissions as needs evolve.
== Is it possible for users to host their own version of CatalogIt? ==
The CatalogIt platform is shared across all users (to clarify, NOT the data, just the platform), utilizing Amazon Web Services for our hosting and other cloud services, and there is currently no ability for users to host their own instance. This allows us to make updates, bug fixes, etc., that are immediately available to all users and importantly, allows us to keep the costs low by sharing this infrastructure. At some point in our future development, perhaps a few years down the road, we may be at a stage where we can enable users to run their own instances of CatalogIt.
== Does CatalogIt support multiple languages? ==
In CatalogIt you able to enter text in any language you have installed on your computer- and a single field can contain multiple languages. CatalogIt does not currently store values for multiple languages separately or allow you to change the language for the field labels or hint text, we do plan to support both of those features in the future.
