By adding packages to a Catalog Group they become available to clients in the form of a list of software packages which can be chosen and installed on-demand via the [CapaInstaller InfoCenter](/capainstaller/the-capainstaller-console/system-administration/capainstaller-agents/capainstaller-windows-agent/info-center-introduction/capainstaller-infocenter/)  
    
 Adding packages to other groups is done by dragging them to the group or by use of the package buffer, but the method of adding them to a catalog group requires a different approach. It is accomplished in the property window of the package you wish to add to the catalog.

### Adding a package to a Catalog Group

- **Right-click** the Package and select **[Package Properties](/capainstaller/the-capainstaller-console/configuration-management/what-is-configuration-management/package-properties/)**
- Select the **Catalog** section
- Check **Package is published to a catalog**
- The name of the package is suggested, but it can be edited.
- Select a **category** in which to place the package.
- Select whether or not everyone should be able to see the package or only those clients that have been assigned from Configuration Management.
- Enter a **description** of the software, which will be available to the clients in the [CapaInstaller InfoCenter](/capainstaller/the-capainstaller-console/system-administration/capainstaller-agents/capainstaller-windows-agent/info-center-introduction/capainstaller-infocenter/)
