What Is Collections and How Can I Use It

To ensure your credentials are structured correctly, it is important to distinguish between Collections and Pathways:

Collections (Categorization & Grouping): A Collection serves as a display grouping or folder for related credential campaigns. It allows you to organize multiple badges or certificates under a single program title for administrative management and directory showcase. It does not enforce progress tracking, automated issuance rules, or prerequisite completion.
Pathways (Guided Learning Routes): A Pathway is an automated, multi-step credentialing track where recipients progress through specific milestones, stack credentials, and earn milestone or capstone badges upon completing required criteria.

Organized Workspace: Keep related credential campaigns—such as annual training series or regional workshops—grouped together rather than as scattered individual campaigns.
Public Directory Showcase: Display a curated group of credentials within your organization's directory so recipients and viewers can explore related certifications.
Streamlined Creation: Build and manage multiple credential campaigns within a unified collection workspace.

Create a New Collection:
- Navigate to Components > Collections in the left sidebar.
- Click the Create New Collection button.
- Enter your Collection Name and Description, then save.
Add Credential Campaigns:
- Within your collection workspace, go to the Credentials tab to add or create certificates and badges.
- Fill in the campaign details, credential design, and email template for each credential as needed.
- Click Update Credential to save your changes.
Reorder Campaigns for Display:
- You can add multiple campaigns to a single collection.
- Use the Reorder button to adjust the visual display sequence of the credentials in your Collection Directory.

Collections allow issuing organizations to group related certificates and badges into cataloged sets for better administrative organization and recipient viewing.
