🟫Create Collection

The collection is the third-level unit in Glacier.

A collection is like a table, and creating a Collection requires specifying the Dataset it belongs to. You need to name and customize the Collection first.

Rules

• Name your Collection.

• Each field is like a column in a table, and you can add several fields according to your needs.

Field Name & Field Type are mandatory fields, while Title & Description are optional ones.

• Field Type includes String, Number, and Boolean. The string is any series of characters; the Number is a set of math characters; the Boolean is a binary variable, having two possible values, “true” and “false.”

• By checking the "square" on the right, you can choose to decide if this field is a must to be filled.

• Description: This is to provide the description of each field.

• Advanced settings include Max length, Min Length, and Pattern. The Pattern (for developers) specifies a regular expression, which is a constraint on data input.
