Estimated reading: 3 minutes 82 views

Introduction

Welcome to Catalyst! Once you’ve created and opened your project, you’ll land on the project’s main index page. From here, navigating through the Console is simple. Whether you’re exploring services, switching environments, or checking usage metrics, this guide will help you get around with ease.

Step-by-Step Instructions

 

  1. Exploring Services and Components
  • On the left-hand side of your screen, you’ll see the navigation menu. This is where you can access all the services in your project.
  • Scroll to the bottom of this menu to find CodeLib.
  • Click Start Exploring to dive into the available components within each service.

Note: You won’t be able to deploy a service to production until you explore it using the Start Exploring button in the console.

  • Components within a service are organized into different categories based on their features and purposes.
  • To open a dashboard for services like Serverless and Cloud Scale, simply click the service name at the top of your screen.
  1. Switching Between Projects
  • At the top of the Console, there’s a dropdown menu where you can switch between different projects quickly.
  1. Returning to the Main Index
  • To go back to your account’s main index page, just click the Catalyst logo at the top-left corner.

 

Dashboard

 

The Serverless and Cloud Scale dashboards give you a snapshot of your project’s daily activity and helpful resources. You’ll find:

  • Sync Functions Executions – Number of synchronous functions run today
  • Async Functions Executions – Number of asynchronous functions run today
  • Total Component Calls – Total number of component calls made today
  • Cron Executions – Number of cron jobs triggered today

You’ll also see links to install the Catalyst CLI and access helpful documentation.

 

Header Overview

At the very top of the Console, you’ll find several important tools:

  • Deploy to Production – After setting up your payment method, use this button to move your project to the live environment.
  • Environment Switcher – Toggle between development and production environments using the dropdown menu.
  • Notifications – Click the bell icon to view alerts and updates across your services. These may include events like deploying from GitHub, enabling search indexes, or training AutoML models.
  • Settings – Customize project features, account preferences, or tweak specific components. (We’ll cover this more in the Setting up a Catalyst Project article.)

Your Account and Organizations

  • Click your profile picture to view your Zoho user details and find your unique Catalyst user ID.
  • Select My Account to visit your Zoho accounts page and update your account info.
  • If you’re part of multiple organizations, you can switch between them using the Organizations dropdown.

Developer Tools

 

Looking for SDKs?

  • You’ll find quick download links in this menu, or you can also grab them from the Developer Tools section under Settings.

Tips

  • Use the Start Exploring button to unlock production deployment capabilities for each service.
  • Keep an eye on your dashboard for a quick health check of your project’s daily performance.
  • Regularly check notifications to stay updated on important events.
  • If you work across multiple teams or products, the Organizations feature is a great way to keep things separate and organized.
