Collections

Collections are folders or groups of emissions sources. Each collection can contain one or more emissions sources and collections. You can nest collections to match your organization's structure.

An emissions source can only belong to one collection. If you need more ways to organize your emissions data, you can use a records list. A records list lets you group and view emissions data separate from the record's emissions sources.

Create a collection

You can create a collection with the Create button or in the Collections module.

In the Collections module, use the Actions menu and select New Collection. 

  1. Enter the collection name.
  2. Select an icon and color.
  3. The code is created for you, but you can update it. It must be unique.

Parent collections and topmost assignments

As you plan and build your CarbonHub hierarchy, keep in mind the different levels of the tree are also assigned to users as their topmost permission. This topmost assignment is the highest level of the tree a user can access.
