Collections are sets of VOD (Video On Demand) classes, images, and links that are curated by your business. Collections allow studios to offer clients an organized way to explore content. They can be purchased as a set, individually, or included in a membership. Collections are a great way to help clients quickly navigate the variety of VODs, images, and resources that you have to offer.
Examples of Collections:
30-day Challenge: 30 videos clients can watch in order
5 part Hand Stand Workshop: 5 videos to teach you how to do a handstand from step 1 - 5
Warm-ups: All of your warm-up videos clients can cycle through
Nutrition Tips and Workout Guides: A collection of images, links to articles, and VODs for a holistic fitness journey
Before creating your collections, you will want to upload the videos that will be featured in the collection (if they are not already in your VOD library).
** Before you add VODs to the collection, make sure your On-Demands are configured correctly. To learn more about configuration, please read below:
When adding VODs to a collection, you can either have the VODs discoverable or not discoverable.
If the toggle is on (discoverable), clients will see the video in your general On-Demand library and in the collection.
If the toggle is off (not discoverable), clients will only be able to see the class in the collection.
Private vs Public On Demands in a collection
All VODs must be public to be viewable in a collection. If you would like to automate this for new videos to be released week by week, you can set the VOD to be public at a specific date and time.
When looking at the individual VOD configuration, you can add the publish at date/time per video.
Once you have your content, go to Schedule & Programming > Collections
Press + Create Collection in the upper right-hand corner of the page to create a new collection

*Folders are a way to further organize the content within a collection. You can use them to add multiple videos to one day in a collection or to separate modalities.
If you are utilizing folders, make sure that once you've added the video to the collection, you drag and drop it into the correct folder.
Once you have added the information above, you are ready to save and publish your collection!
