<h2 class="imj_sectionHeadline"><a name="Collections"></a>Collections</h2>

<p>
Collections provide the main folder structure and are required to upload 
and organize items. All items in a collection are described by a shared set of 
metadata elements, as specified by the metadata profile for the particular 
collection.</p>

<br/>
<h3 class="imj_sectionHeadline" style="padding:0"><a name="Collection_List"></a>Collection List</h3>

<p>
The list displays all collections accessible to the user, including:
all collections created by or shared with the user (identified via 
the user account) and all collections released by other users. If the
user is not logged in, the list contains released collections only.</p>

<p>
In the Collection List, users can change the number of hits displayed per page.
Further on, the sorting can be modified and following filters can be applied:</p>

<ul style="list-style-type: square; padding:0 0 0.5em 2%">
  <li><span style="font-style: italic;">All (except discarded)</span>

<p>
The system offers two different searches, the simple search and the advanced search.
</p>

<br/>
<h3 class="imj_sectionHeadline" style="padding:0">Simple Search</h3>

<p>
The Simple Search is displayed as a free text field on top of every page. Here the 
user can decide to either search for item, collection or album metadata.
Search indexes and operators can be entered optionally to define more complex
queries, e.g.</p>

<ul style="list-style-type: square; padding:0 0 0.5em 2%">
  <li><span style="font-style: italic;">created&gt;=&quot;2016-03-01&quot;</span> - to retrieve 
    all items, collections or alben created at or after the specified date.</li>
  <li><span style="font-style: italic;">status=&quot;RELEASED&quot; AND filetype=&quot;Document&quot;</span>
    - to retrieve all items of type document in state &quot;released&quot;.</li>
</ul>

<p>
Please check the <a href="http://imeji.org/development/technical-specification/search/"
target="_blank">documention</a> for further details on the query syntax.</p>

<br/>

restricted to a specific collection. Please choose a metadata element and
enter or select the term you are looking for. Further search fields can be
added via the plus button.</p>
