The SC Categories widget displays Service Catalog categories. You can use this base system widget as-is in your portal or clone it to suit your own business needs.
The system renders the categories available in this widget from the Categories table in Service Catalog [sc_category].
If you associate your portal with multiple catalogs, then the SC Categories widget also includes a menu to select which catalog to browse.
For more information on associating your portal with catalogs, see Configure a catalog in Service Portal.
