New Collection Wizard

Main menu command: Item » New...

Previous  Next

 

This wizard will help you create a new collection using either predefined or user-defined collection templates or any existing collections as a template.

 

The wizard allows you to do it in a few steps. At any step, you can go back or cancel the operation.

 

 

Setting the name and the type of the new collection.

 

At this step, you should enter the name of the new collection and specify its type. The type of a collection determines its set of properties (its icon, additional attributes, etc.).

 

The following types are available:

 

Custom. The new collection will have no special properties and additional attributes. You will be able to define them later while editing the properties of this collection.

 

Predefined. The new collection will have the properties of the selected predefined template.

 

User-defined. The new collection will have the properties of the selected user-defined template.

 

Same as parent. The new collection will be the same as its parent.

 

Same as chosen. The new collection will be the same as the one selected at the next step of the wizard.

 

 

Selecting the collection to be used as a template.

 

At this step, you should select the collection to be used as a template for the new collection. To move to the next step, either double-click the selected collection or use the standard wizard button [Next >>].

 

This step is automatically skipped if you specify the type of the collection other than "Same as chosen" at the previous step.

 

 

Finishing creating the new collection.

 

If you want to view or edit the properties of the new collection immediately after it is created, select the "Open collection properties" checkbox.

 

Click the [Next] button to finish creating the new collection.
