Create a collection
How to organize Unity Cloud Assets into a Collection that you can use to identify assets associated with a single project, subject, or purpose.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated a year ago
Collections are simple containers inside a Project where you can organize your assets. Collections have no role in user management - all users with access to your Asset Manager Project have permission to see any Collections that exist in it.
You can nest Collections up to 6 levels deep under a Project.
Note
Once you create a Collection, you cannot move it within another Collection or to another Asset Manager Project.
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you meet the following prerequisites:
- You must have at least the Contributor role in the Asset Manager project where you want to add a Collection.
Create a Collection
To create new Collection:
- Make sure you are signed into Unity Cloud and have the correct permissions in the Asset Manager Project to which you will add the new Collection.
- Do one of the following:
- From the Asset Manager web interface, next to the Create asset button, select the menu (...) button.
- From the main library view for your Asset Manager Project, next to Add Asset, select the arrow button.
- Select Create Collection.
- In the Collection Name field, enter a meaningful name for this collection of assets.
- (Optional) To create the new collection in a different Asset Manager Project, select Change location and select the correct project.
- Select Create.
The new Collection appears in the list of available Collections for this Asset Manager Project.
Important
Access controls and permissions do not apply to Collections; only the Assets within the Collection.
