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

1. Select the "Files" or "Tables" tab in the filter panel

2. Customize your filters:

   • Name conditions (is, contains, starts with)

   • Data source type

   • Data source name

   • File attributes (suffix, size, type)

   • Additional metadata fields

3. Click "Apply" to preview your changes

4. Review the filtered results to ensure they match your needs

5. 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:

1. Navigate to the "Contents" tab in your collection

2. Select any file or table from the list

3. In the information panel, you can update:

   • File/table name

   • Description (supports rich text formatting)

   • Additional metadata fields

4. 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
