Configure Item Catalog Style

One of the most commonly edited pieces of the Item Catalog will be its Item Card and the configuration used as this affects all of the Item Cards being displayed in the Item Catalog.

Catalog Styles are chosen from a drop-down selector of Item Card "templates".

Although the Item Cards generally perform similar functions, each having its own set of specific options, the card layout will use the options that are set specifically for that card. Setting an option in a different card will not have it applied across all cards.
