Note

The feature described in this article requires Pagico v4.0 and higher.

Collections are just like folders, and they can contain topics and contact profiles.

Creating a collection

To create a new collection, simply click on the plus (”+”) button in the lower left corner, then click on the “New Collection” menu item. All the collections are displayed in the “Collections” group in the sidebar.

Editing a collection

To edit (the content of) a collection, please first open that collection by clicking it in the sidebar, and click anywhere near the title of the collection to see the settings panel.

There are two types of collections: static and smart. You can set this up in the settings panel of a collection.

Static Collection

Static collections are just like regular folders, and you can add content to it manually by dragging items from the right list to the left list. You can also re-order the items in the left list, which is the content of the selected collection.

Smart Collection

Smart collections are just like the smart playlists in music players. You can set one or more rules, based on which the content of the collection will be picked automatically.

Live Update?

By default the “Live Update” checkbox is not checked. And this means that Pagico will pick everything based on your criteria, and then switch this collection back into a regular, static collection. Then you can modify and re-order the content manually.

Once it’s checked, the selected collection will always stay as a smart collection, and its content will be updated automatically based on your criteria.

Deleting a collection

To delete a collection, you need to first open the collection, and click the trash icon located in the right upper corner of the collection title area. Deleting a collection does not remove its content. That means topics and profiles within the collection are not deleted when a collection is removed. Also, deleted collections do not show up in the trash bin.
