Page History

A collection's policy defines which content models are applied to the collection. The policy itself is stored with the object as a COLLECTION_POLICY datastream, and is viewable on the Datastreams management page of the collection.

A collection's content models can be managed quickly via the 'Manage collection policy' page. This tutorial will explain how to navigate to that page and use it.

1. The box next to the Content Model PID will need to be checked off. In this example, we will be adding the 'PDF Solution Pack' model to our collection.
2. A namespace needs to be applied to the content model. In this example, we are changing it from the default 'islandora' namespace.
3. Once all content models have been selected and configured, click 'Update Collection Policy' to save your changes. Selected content models will be moved to the top of the list.
