Attaching an encyclopedia to a catalog makes it ready for you to assign it to users. There are two methods to attach an encyclopedia. From System Architect Catalog Manager, you can use the Attach Encyclopedia command. Also, when you create an encyclopedia from System Architect, you can make the encyclopedia available to others.
This task requires that the encyclopedia you want to attach has already been created.
