Add a New Item Set

An item set is a collection of items. Think of it as a category. One item can belong to multiple item sets, and one item set can contain multiple items.

Adding a New Item Set

In the admin dashboard, click on the "Item Sets" link in the sidebar, then at the top right, click on the "Add new item set" button.

Warning

It is important that you keep the title to simple characters, no special characters. This is because the title is used to sort the files in the backend and special characters can cause issues. ex. Item Set 1 is fine, but Item /\Set 1!@# is not.

  • Resource template: Collection
  • Class: Dublin Core Type: Collection
  • Title: The title of the item set.
  • Description: A description of the item set. Not required, but recommended.
  • Country of Origin: The country where the item set originated. This is used in the backend for sorting.
