CatalogIt enables you to capture and display places hierarchically, for example, a town, in a state, in a country, and in a continent. Creating the hierarchy is simple — just follow these steps:

  • While editing or creating an Entry, at a "Place..." field (place made, place published, related place, etc.) type in the name of your place.
  • If it doesn't already exist in your list, select “Create”.
  • CatalogIt will prepopulate the name of your new Place from your search.
  • In the "Place Type..." field, select the appropriate type of Place (city, state, country, etc.)
  • In the "Located In..." field, select the appropriate place of which your new place is a part; for example, the country a state or province is located in.
  • Click "Create" in the upper right-hand corner.
