Users can create multiple “folders” of Enhanced Content, which are referred to as Collections in Content Experience Suite. These collections can be created based on Language, Locale, and Website for any given product.

Creating a collection first starts with selecting the sites you want the content to go to.

• A Generic collection will target all sites that share the language and locale combination you select.
• A Site-Specific collection will target only the sites (1 or more) that you select.

It’s very common to have generic Enhanced Content that will go onto the majority of your retailer sites. But then, have a few layouts that need to be different for a specific site. Or maybe your Enhanced Content across all your sites will be the same, but you syndicate to retailers in other countries and other languages. Collections allow you to organize all the different versions of Enhanced Content that you need to create.

Create a Collection 

1. Enter the Project you wish to add the new collection to, go to Project Overview tab, then click Create New Collection.
2. Select the Language of the sites you would like to target.
   • This initially narrows down the locales you can then select.
3. Select the Locale(s) of the sites you would like to target.
   • More than one locale can be selected if desired but they will only be of the same language. English(CA) and English(US) for instance.
4. Your previous Language and Locale selections will ultimately narrow down the sites you can target.
5. Select Generic to target all sites that match the Language and Locale selections.
6. Select Site-Specific if you want to hand pick one or many sites that you want the collection to target. You can select multiple sites by clicking the checkboxes next to their name, then name the new collection.
   • You can select multiple sites by clicking the checkboxes next to their name, then name the new collection
7. Click Create and you may create content that you would like to send to the sites that are targeted by your new collection.

Now that the Collection has been created, follow the steps to build enhanced content widgets specific to the collection. There is no limit to the number of Collections that can be created for a given Project. When a Collection is published content will be published to all Enhanced Content Retailers which are being targeted by the Collection.

 

Access a Previously Created Collection

To enter a different collection, click the Collections Selector at the top, and select the desired collection.

Delete a Collection

1. Enter the Project that contains the collection you wish to remove, then go to the Project Overview tab.
2. Click the Ellipsis next to the collection you wish to remove, then Remove Collection. Thoroughly read the pop-up prompt to confirm your choice and complete the deletion.

Check Collection Status

We recommend monitoring your collections regularly to stay organized and informed about where they are in the publication process. In the Project Overview tab, collection bars categorize your collections and display their different statuses.

1. The top half of the bar, in gray, is collection specific information.

• a: View the Collection type.
• b: View the Locale, Language and Name of collection.
• c: View the total widget count; how many widgets are being utilized in that collection.
• d: View which experience types the collection is enabled on.
• e: View Collection stats.
• f: Click to see More options; from here you can delete a collection, edit a collection or view a more in-depth collection status.

2. The bottom half of bar, in white, is URL focused.

• a: View what websites live in that collection and how many URLs have been added.
• b: Click to preview the collection’s Enhanced Content.
• c: View count of URLs that have been associated to the collection
• d: View the URL statuses for URLs that have been added. Once URLs are added, the URL icons change color, and have a number inside to indicate how many URLs are in each status.
