# Automatically add assets to a Collection (via rule settings) The **Automated Collection** feature allows Admins to quickly and automatically add assets to collections. Instead of manually selecting each Asset to add to a Collection, you can set up **automation rules**. When an Asset is uploaded and meets the defined conditions, the system will automatically add that Asset to the corresponding Collection. #### ✨ **Key Benefits** * Save time on asset categorization. * Ensure consistency in data organization. * Reduce errors from manual asset selection. * Automatically organize assets into themes such as events, key people, locations, content types, etc. ### **How to Set Up an Automated Collection** To set up Automated Collection, follow these steps: * Step 1: Go to the **Collection Detail** page. * Step 2: Click on the **three-dot Settings icon** in the top right corner.

* Step 3: Select the **Automations** tab and start creating rules to define the conditions assets must meet.

📌 **Types of Conditions You Can Use in a Rule**

Condition	Description
Tags	The asset must include at least one or all of the specified tags.
Production Date	The asset must have a production date within the selected date range.
Location	The asset must contain GPS coordinates that fall within a defined location.
Type	The asset must match the selected file type (e.g., image, video, etc.).
Face	The asset must contain the face(s) of one or more people specified in the collection.

### **How Automation Rules Work** * Each rule contains multiple condition fields (e.g., tags, production date, face detection, etc.). Any field left empty will be ignored. * An asset must meet **all non-empty conditions** in a single rule to be added to the Collection. * If there are multiple rules:\ ➤ **If any uploaded Assets match one of the rules listed below, the Asset will be added to this Collection.** If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, we're always here to help! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
