# Digital Catalogue

{% embed url="<https://culinarytrail.eu/digital-catalogue/>" %}

## Using the Digital Catalogue

{% hint style="success" %}
**Estimated time: 5 minutes.**
{% endhint %}

The **Digital Catalogue** allows visitors to browse published Units of Culinary Heritage from the Danube Region. It presents culinary heritage items in a visual grid and provides filtering options to help users quickly find specific dishes, beverages, techniques, traditions, or other submitted units.

Unlike the account dashboard sections, the Digital Catalogue is intended for viewing and exploring published content. Users do not create, edit, or delete units from this page.

### Browsing the Catalogue

The catalogue displays published Units of Culinary Heritage as cards in a grid layout. Each card includes a featured image, basic classification labels, the title of the unit, and the name of the contributor.

Users can scroll through the catalogue to explore available culinary heritage entries.

### Using the Search Bar

At the top of the catalogue, users can search for a specific unit by typing a keyword or title into the search bar.

As the user types, the catalogue automatically updates and displays matching results.

### Filtering Catalogue Results

The Digital Catalogue includes dynamic filtering options. When a user selects an option from any dropdown field, the grid is automatically updated to show only the matching units.

Users can filter the catalogue by:

* **Unit Type**
* **Country**
* **Type of Ethnic Group**
* **Recent Migrant Group**
* **Traditional Ethnic Group**

Multiple filters can be combined to narrow the results further. For example, a user can filter by unit type, country, and ethnic group at the same time.

### Clearing Filters

To reset the catalogue view, users can click the **Clear** button.

This removes all selected filter values and search terms, returning the catalogue to its default view with all available published units displayed.

### Viewing Unit Details

Users can open a unit by clicking on its card in the catalogue grid.

This opens the unit details page, where users can view all available information about the selected Unit of Culinary Heritage. Depending on the unit type, the details page may include information such as the description, recipe, preparation process, location, ethnic group, project partner, references, images, and other relevant content.

### Leaving a Rating and Comment

On the unit details page, logged-in users can leave a rating and comment.

Users can select a star rating, write their message, and submit the comment. This allows visitors to share feedback or impressions about the selected unit.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.culinarytrail.eu/getting-started/digital-catalogue.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
