Adding Items to a Collection from Search

You can add items to a new or existing collection. For example, you can search for parts, then select particular parts from the search results to add to a collection. If you enter a new collection name, the new collection is created. If you select an existing collection, the selected items are added to those already included.

You can also add items to an existing collection from that collections's Items page.

Collections can include any type of object. For example, a collection could be created to group similar parts or to group documents related to a particular project.

Before you begin: Execute a search to locate the items you need.
