Znode allows you to define personalized experiences for your shoppers to meet the needs and demands of your business and sales teams. One of the things you can do is present different users with a different catalog.

You define catalogs for the following:

1. The Store
2. A User Profile
3. An Account

When the user logs in Znode decides which catalog to use.  It uses the following rules:

1. If the store has the attribute Enable Profile Based Catalogs enabled and there is a catalog associated with the User’s default user profile - it uses that catalog.
2. If there is no user profile based catalog - but the user's account has a catalog set - it uses that catalog.
3. Otherwise, it uses the store’s catalog.
