Collections

Collections are composed of Capsule, Pipelines, No-Code Apps, Data Assets, and Models, organized by Administrator-defined topics. They allow for better asset management at the organization level, increased discoverability, and re-use of “Gold Standard” assets.

Collections Overview

Collections feature overview video

Collections have their own dashboard, accessible from the Navigation sidebar.

On the Collections page, you are able to view all Collections, which are created and managed by your Code Ocean Admin. These Collections may correspond to categories such as projects or data type.

You will see a section for Internal Collections, which are Collections shared within your organization. If enabled by your admin, you may also see a section for Public Collections, which provides a way to share your organization's research assets with a global audience.

Collections themselves are visible to all users in the deployment. Asset visibility within a Collection is permission-based, so users will only see the assets they have access to.

Adding Assets to Collections

Adding and Deleting Assets from the Collections Page

You can add any Release Capsule/Pipeline, No-Code App, Data Asset, and Model that you are the owner of. This can be done by first using the file tree to select the Collection you would like to add to.

Click the Manage Assets button to open a side panel.

This side panel lists all research assets than can be added to the Collection. This list can be filtered by asset type, searched with free text search, and filtered depending on asset type. This side panel also supports the bulk addition or removal of assets.

Once this is done, you will see the asset in the Collection you created under the relevant section.

To delete this asset from the Collection, hover over the asset and click the trash can icon or click the green check mark in the side panel.

Adding Assets from Dashboards and the Asset Page

Assets can also be added to Collections by clicking the "Add to Collection" folder button, available in several locations such as the asset Dashboards (when hovering over an asset), the Data/Model Details Panel, the Capsule/Pipeline IDE header, and the newly released asset modal.
