This guide will walk you through how to make a manual Collection in EcoMap Discover.
Collections are the backbone of EcoMap Discover. They make it easy to present data to your end users while also helping you curate data for internal management.
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 manual Collection. If you'd like to learn about how to make a dynamic Collection, you can view the knowledge base article here.
Let's walk through the process:
- Go to app.ecomap.tech
- Start in your Data Library.
- Then, select the assets you'd like to include in your Collection.
Tip: If the assets in your Collection have a unifying factor, you can filter or search to narrow down the results you're choosing between. - Click "Add to Collection."
- When making a new Collection, select the "Add to New Collection" button.
- Then, give your Collection a name.
- Click "Create Collection."
- You're done! Now your Collection lives in this dropdown. Edit your Collection any time using the "Edit Collection" button.
