Collections

Collections are a direct replacement of the Database feature and functions in much the same way. The specific functions of a Collection will vary widely from one website to the next. Collections are added by the Web Team, as needed, to control custom features and store information.

Some reasons to consider building a Collection into a website might include:

• Maintaining a significant amount of uniform data
• Content is being presented in multiple places or specialized formats
• Content needs to be sortable or filterable
• Particular set of information must be searchable
