Creating and m anaging collections

There are two approaches a collection can be created:

1. Switch to the folder view, right click a shared folder and select "Create New

Collection" to turn that shared folder into a collection.

2. Drag and drop videos in "Video Collection" on the left panel.

Right click a collection and choose to play, download, remove, rename, email the link

of, publish the link, share the link of that collection, or modify the settings of that

collection (The email, publish and share options are only available if "Share with the

public" is enabled in "Collection Settings".)

Creating and managing smart collections

To create a smart collection, please click "+" next to "Smart Collection", specify the

name of the collection, the classification (Home Videos, Movies, TV Shows and Music

Videos) and search criteria (all files and tag). Right click a smart collection and choose

to play, download, remove, rename, or reset collection settings. Right click a smart

collection and choose to play, download, remove, rename, email the link of, publish the

link, share the link of that collection, or modify the settings of that collection (The

email, publish and share options are only available if "Share with the public" is enabled

in "Collection Settings").

Sharing collections

As you create a collection, you can choose to share it with other NAS users (choose

whether all NAS users can edit the collection, or only the collection creator/

administrator can edit the collection) or the public, or not to share at all (leave both

options unchecked), and set the valid period on the collection creation page. If a

collection is set to share with the public, you can right click that collection and select

"Email" to email it, "Publish" to publish it on social networking sites, or "Sharing Links" to

generate and paste the collection link on your blog, forum, or instant messenger

programs. You can still edit the collection content later, and the updated content will

be presented when viewers click the same link again.

On the other hand, you can also share a number of videos as you do with collections.

To do so, please click the "Sharing" button on the right panel, drag videos from

different collections and drop under "Select Videos" on the right panel and use the

"Email", "Social Sharing", or "Link" button to share those videos. Then, your friends can

log into the Video Station with the link provided to them to watch videos from shared
