Collection Sets

The concept behind collections within the Metrix Asset Management system is to allow users to choose various components from a map or list, and build an actionable group from them. A collection, in other words, is a selection set that users can use in system actions.

Once a collection set has been constructed, users can use that collection to:

• Perform bulk data updates
• Schedule inspections
• Generate reports
• Create custom filters using the entities in the filter

When a component is included in a collection set, the spatial feature will be rendered with a halo, highlighting it to the user.

As mentioned in the above list, collections can be converted into permanent custom filters. User can also start a collection from the components resulting from an existing custom filter. There is a two-way interoperability at play here.
