# Collection Details

> The four general settings — name, what one Item is called, description and cover image — where each one shows up, and their collection.* bindings

Four settings identify a Collection: its name, a word for what one of its Items is called, a
free-text description, and a cover image. They are all in **Settings → General**, under
**Collection details**.

None of them change how anything behaves. They are display values — but they are also
*bindable*, which is the part people miss (see below).

## Name

The only required one. It appears in the Collections list, in the sidebar, and as the heading
above the Item grid, and it is used to name the file when you export a backup
(`heavy-equipment-2026-08-22.json`).

**Renaming is free.** Nothing is derived from the name — no URL, no Item data, no Link address —
so you can rename a Collection at any time without consequence. You can rename inline from the
grid heading as well as from settings.

## What is one Item called?

An optional singular word for one Item in this Collection — "Machine", "Vehicle", "Room". Use
the singular, not the plural.

It shows on the Collection's card in the Collections list and dashboard, and it feeds the
`{{collection.items_name}}` binding used as the subtitle on the built-in default page. Leaving it blank
is fine; nothing falls back to a broken label.

## Description

Free text describing what the Collection is for. It shows in the Collections list, is searchable
there, and is bindable on pages. Nobody outside your team sees it unless you put it on a page.

## Cover image

An image file, up to **2 MB**. It shows beside the Collection's name in the sidebar, so it is
read at roughly icon size — a simple, high-contrast image works better than a detailed photo.
Uploading a new image replaces the old one when you save; if the upload fails, the previous
image is kept and the rest of your changes still save.

## Using these in bindings

All four are available to page sections and Destination URLs:

| Binding                      | Value                              |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `{{collection.name}}`        | The Collection name                |
| `{{collection.description}}` | The description                    |
| `{{collection.items_name}}`  | The "what is one Item called" word |
| `{{collection.image_url}}`   | The cover image URL                |

One caution if you put `{{collection.name}}` inside a Destination URL: values are inserted exactly as
stored, with **no URL encoding**. A Collection named `Site A & B` will break the link it is
inserted into. Keep names you intend to use in URLs free of spaces, `&`, `?` and `#`.
