Problem Description

A new DataGroup Catalog Type is not displaying in the list of Filtered items.

Reason

A new DataGroup Type will not automatically display in the list of Catalog Types if the list is filtered.

Steps to Resolve

If a new DataGroup Type was created, it will not automatically display in the list of Catalog Types if the list is filtered.  The new Catalog Type must be added to the filter in order for it to display when the DataGroup Catalog Edit is opened in filtered mode.
1. Click the arrow for Filter Items by Catalog to open the Catalog Filters dialog.
2. Highlight Architectural (all) for instance to add a type to this filter.
3. Select the "Modify" button to open the "Modify Filtered Catalogs" box.
4. Scroll down the list to select the new Catalog Type from the list.
5. OK

Adding the Catalog Type to a filter is an integral part of the Catalog Type creation process, simply click the big 'Add Catalog Type to Filters...' button and select the required filters. The same dialog is used to edit existing filter assignments.
