Collections
Collections are named groups of content shown on your platform's home and browse pages. What goes into a collection is determined by rules — a set of conditions that the platform evaluates dynamically, so content that matches a rule appears automatically without manual curation.
Creating a collection
Go to Admin → Collections and click the + icon.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Heading shown to viewers on the browse page |
| Description | Optional — internal notes, not shown to viewers |
| Position | Display order relative to other collections (lower numbers appear first) |
| Hidden | Hide the collection from the browse page without deleting it |
Rules
Rules define which content appears in a collection. Each rule targets a field, applies a comparison operator, and (where relevant) matches against a value. Multiple rules are chained with AND or OR logic.
Fields
| Field | What it matches against |
|---|---|
| Name | The content's title |
| Description | The content's description text |
| Tags | The tags assigned to the content |
| Release Date | The content's release date |
| Parent | The content's parent (e.g. a show, if the content is a season or episode). For most collections, adding a rule of Parent is not set is recommended — it filters to standalone content only and excludes nested items like seasons or episodes |
| Tier | The subscription tier assigned to the content |
Operators
Available operators depend on the field type:
| Operator | Available for |
|---|---|
| equals / not equals | Name, Description, Release Date, Parent, Tier |
| contains / does not contain | Name, Description |
| includes any of / excludes all of | Tags |
| before / on or before / after / on or after | Release Date |
| is set / is not set | all fields |
Values
- Tags — select from buttons showing all tags in your library; multiple can be selected
- Release Date — a date/time picker; the special value
nowmatches against the current time at query time - Parent — a content search picker; select any content node to use as the parent value
- Tier — a dropdown of your configured subscription tiers
- Name / Description — a free text field
Rule logic
The first rule always acts as the WHERE clause. Each additional rule prepends AND or OR before its condition. Rules are applied in order by their Position value.
Example — a "New Releases" collection:
Release Dateon or after[date 30 days ago]
Example — a "Premium Drama" collection:
Tagsincludes any of[Drama]- AND
Tierequals[Premium]
Adding and editing rules
From a collection's detail page, click + next to Rules to add a new rule. Click the pencil icon on an existing rule to edit it. Changes take effect immediately — the matched items list at the bottom of the page updates to reflect the current rule set.
Deleting a rule
Click the trash icon on a rule and confirm. The collection re-evaluates automatically.
Matched items preview
The bottom section of a collection's detail page shows all content currently matched by the rules. This is a live preview — the same content viewers will see.
Hidden collections
Setting a collection to Hidden removes it from the viewer-facing browse page but keeps it available for internal use — for example, as the Banner Collection in Platform Configuration. Hidden collections still evaluate their rules normally.
