16.2 Creating a Collection

Collections are created automatically whenever issues or reviews are created - see sections 15.2 - Creating an issue and 17.2 - Starting a review, respectively. This permits all issues and reviews to be stored together and searched using the collection search - see section 16.4 - Viewing and searching a Collection.

A collection can also be added to a folder or workspace by clicking   Add  |  Collection   . You will be asked to provide a name and description for the collection. On clicking "Create collection", the page will refresh to your previous location and the newly created collection will be displayed beside the icon.

Figure 16.2-1: Example of a Collections page

Clicking on the collection icon or name will display a page like that shown in Figure 16.2-1. When a collection is created automatically as a by-product of issuing or reviewing, the collection is added to your current location and given the default name Issues.
