Updating Collection Contents
Overview
Collections in Publisher dynamically update based on filter settings. You can modify these filters anytime to change what content appears in your collection.
Accessing Collection Filters
Open the collection editor using either method:
From the Collections page: Click "Actions > Edit Collection" next to your target collection
From within a collection: Click the "Edit Collection" button in the top-right corner
Modifying Collection Filters
Select the "Files" or "Tables" tab in the filter panel
Customize your filters:
Name conditions (is, contains, starts with)
Data source type
Data source name
File attributes (suffix, size, type)
Additional metadata fields
Click "Apply" to preview your changes
Review the filtered results to ensure they match your needs
Click "Done" to save your updated collection
Changes to filters take effect immediately
Managing File and Table Metadata
Each file or table in your collection can have its own metadata:
Navigate to the "Contents" tab in your collection
Select any file or table from the list
In the information panel, you can update:
File/table name
Description (supports rich text formatting)
Additional metadata fields
Click the save icon to preserve your change
Key Points
New content that matches your filters automatically joins the collection
Existing content that no longer matches filters is automatically removed
You can preview filter results before finalizing changes
File and table metadata updates are independent of filter settings
