Creating collections

About this article

In this article you will learn how to create new Collections. The purpose of Collections is to separate your items by seasonal collection. This is the main use case, however, you can also create different types of collections. Some other examples include: specific pattern (i.e. Floral collections), core collection (i.e. Basic White T-shirts), occasional collections (i.e. Bridal, Holidays, Xmas). Collections are very useful when reviewing sales stats through Reports or the Dashboard.
