Create Collection

The Create Collection object will create a new SMS collection. Configuring the Create Collection object is similar to creating an SMS collection using the SMS Administrator Console.

Note: The Opalis Client and Action Server user accounts must have sufficient rights to view programs, collections, and packages as well as create advertisements.

How it is used

The Create Collection object can be used to create a new SMS collection from your Policy rather than from the SMS Administrator Console.

Configuration

To configure the Create Collection object you will need to know the name of the server where the collection will be created, the login credentials for that server, and the name of the parent collection, if any.
