Collections are containers for storing sets of objects from Tree and System Setup independently of their placement in the hierarchies. Objects in a collection can be updated, making collections a valuable tool for data maintenance tasks.
When multiple collections need to be grouped together, they can be put into a 'collection group'. Collection groups can also hold other collection groups. Collections and collection groups are found in the Collections hierarchy on the Tree tab. See Creating Collections (here) or Creating Collection Groups (here) in this documentation for more information on each topic.
For more on data maintenance in regards to collections and collection group, see the Maintaining Collections topic in this documentation here.
Note: Collection objects are not under revision control and cannot be made dimension dependent, meaning that the collection objects will be the same across all Workspaces and Contexts. However, the content of a collection is filtered according to Workspace / Context visibility and according to the privileges of the user inspecting the collection.
