Prioritize Collections that are specific and aligned with your audience’s most common needs. In general, many smaller Collections are more effective than a few broad ones. In EcoMap Discover, you can create two types of Collections: **dynamic** and **manual**. - **Dynamic Collections** let you set parameters so that any new asset matching those criteria is added automatically. This saves time and reduces the need for manual updates. - **Manual Collections** let you hand-pick each asset. Nothing is added unless you choose it, giving you maximum control over how your data is presented. This guide will walk you through creating a **dynamic Collection**. To learn how to make a manual Collection, see our Knowledge Base article [here.](https://help.ecomap.tech/manual-collections-in-ecomap-discover?hsLang=en) Let's walk through the process: 1. Go to app.ecomap.tech 2. Start in the "Data Library" section of the Discover tab ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.02.23 PM](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.02.23%20PM.png?width=688&height=329&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.02.23%20PM.png) 3. If applicable, start by filtering down to the correct asset subtype. For this example, we'll choose "Financial Resources." ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.05.19 PM](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.05.19%20PM.png?width=688&height=329&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.05.19%20PM.png) 4. Then, apply a location filter to limit the content of your Collection to a specific geography. ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.08.05 PM](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.08.05%20PM.png?width=688&height=329&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.08.05%20PM.png) 5. Then, add search terms to continue to narrow down the results. Pro tip: Use operators like AND or OR, and put phrases in quotation marks to get more precise results. ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.12.20 PM](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.12.20%20PM.png?width=688&height=330&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.12.20%20PM.png) 6. At this point, if you'd like to exclude an asset simply type "-"\[Resource name\]"" at the beginning of your search.  ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.17.05 PM](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.17.05%20PM.png?width=688&height=330&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.17.05%20PM.png) ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.18.30 PM-1](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.18.30%20PM-1.png?width=688&height=328&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.18.30%20PM-1.png) 7. When your Collections looks good to go, click "Create Collection." ![Screenshot 2025-08-18 at 3.23.26 PM](https://help.ecomap.tech/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.23.26%20PM.png?width=688&height=329&name=Screenshot%202025-08-18%20at%203.23.26%20PM.png) 8.
