Create a collection

A collection is a catalog of similar things. Name it, give it a cover and decide who can see it.

On the collections page press + New collection.
Give it a name and, if you like, a description and a cover image address. You can change all of this later.
Tick “public registry” only if you want other people on this installation to be able to browse it and copy entries (see Public registries).
Press Create. The new collection opens, empty.

An empty collection has no fields yet, only a title for every entry. The next step is usually to add fields: see Fields.

Change it later

Open the collection and press Settings. There you can rename it, change the description and cover (upload a file or paste an address), and switch the public registry option. The Languages & Translations tab lets you give the name and description in other languages. Password protection and encryption are on the same window; see Protecting your data.

Collection settings: name, cover, public registry and password protection.

Careful. Deleting a collection moves it, with its entries, to the trash for 30 days (the period is configurable by the operator). You can restore it from there.
