Managing Collections on the Home Page

A collection is like a group of bookmarks. By default, creating a collection is restricted to administrative and advanced users. Your system administrator can grant you the capability to work with collections. You can create a collection that points to your favorite reports, explorations, stored processes, tables, queries, folders, and favorite groups.

To create a new collection:

Do one of the following:
- On the home page, click Manage to the right of the My Content heading. The Manage My Content window is displayed.
  
  Click to open the menu, and then select Create a Collection. The Create a Collection window is displayed.
- In the object inspector, click Collections. Then, select Create a Collection. The Create a Collection window is displayed.
Enter a Name for the collection.
Click Browse to select a Location for the collection. The Choose a Location window is displayed.

Select an existing folder or create a new one. You can also add an existing collection to a collection. Click OK to return to the Create a Collection window.

Note: When you create a new collection, you can add items to it from within the Manage My Content window only if the collection is a root collection in My Collections. For example, if you create Collection B, and add it to Collection A, then Collection B appears on the right side of the Manage My Content window and you cannot add items to it.
(Optional) If you opened the Create a Collection window from the object inspector, then you can clear the Add the new collection to My Content check box. This means the new collection will not be displayed on the home page next to the Favorites link.
Click Add. If you are in the Manage My Content window, then the new collection will appear on the left.

In the Manage My Content window, you can rename, remove, or permanently delete a collection by right-clicking on the name of the collection and selecting the applicable option.
