What are Collections?

Think of collections as categories for your Hootboard that allow you to quickly filter through posts aka hoots. 

Collections are used in a number of places. On kiosk, they are used to configure content applications or which featured hoots to load up with. On digital signage they can be used to specify which hoots to show on a TV. On the web/mobile, it allows members of your boards to filter through the content. 

Once a collection is selected it will update the view of your board to only show posts that have been tagged that way.  For example, if you have a select a collection for #jobs, it will only show hoots that were tagged #jobs. There is even a smart tagging so once you select #jobs you can filter down with secondary collections e.g. #jobs then select #engineering. 

Admins create collections for the board and once they are created, they will also be recommended to posters when they are posting. Forgot to add it to a collection? Don't worry admins can change them later on by going into Manage Hoot or posts can edit hoot..  Here's a quick video to see how collections look like in action on our touch kiosks and on the web:
