1 Launch Overview
Get Started with Launch
Use this topic to learn how to leverage the Launch application for centrally designing and deploying your catalog definitions.
What you can do using the Launch application will depend on your role. These roles and privileges are set up by your administrator. For more information, see Create Application Users and Assign Job Roles in Launch Cloud Service Implementation Guide.
For example, if you sign-in as a product manager, you would typically see three work areas covering offers, promotions, and workbench. If you are an administrator, you will see an additional work area for administration as well. Similarly, business users may see work areas for only offers and promotions.
Table 1-1 summarizes what you can do using each work area in the Launch application:
