Create a collection

Collections are an important concept in Data Stream Designer. You might have to create a collection soon after starting to use the application as they are crucial to the workings of use cases and streams. A collection also has to be created before installing a stream host as the stream host is dependent on the information contained in a collection. To create a collection, follow the steps below:

1. Open the Collections page from the left-hand menu.
2. Click on New.
3. Choose a name for the new collection.
4. You may also include tags if needed by choosing tags from the drop down that will open as soon as you click on the field or by typing a new value and pressing Enter.
5. Click Ok.
