Creating collections

Collections can be created as follows:

1. When uploading

Select "Create a New Collection" at the bottom of the upload screen and your resources will be automatically uploaded into that collection. You can name the collection, or if you leave the name blank it will generate a timestamp name for the collection. This method of creating collections is useful when uploading resources you will want grouped together as it saves you searching for them later and manually adding them to a collection.

2. From the collection bar

From version 11.1 use the "+ Create new" button on the collection bar to create a new collection (earlier versions have the option to "Create new collection" within the collections drop down list). You can then enter a name for the new collection and either click the tick button or press "Enter" on your keyboard to create the new collection. The new collection will be loaded in the collection bar. If you need to cancel creating a new collection, use the cross button to return to the collections drop down list.

You can now navigate around the system, running searches for resources or going into existing Featured Collections and your newly created collection will stay in the bar below.

To add resources use the + symbol or drag and drop them into the collection bar.

If you want to add resources in bulk to your new collection you can tick the check boxes above the resource thumbnails, then use the 'Actions' drop down to select 'Add selected to collection'. 

3. From manage my collections

Enter a name under "Create a New Collection" and then click create.
