Interface CollectionsInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:
CollectionsClient
public interface CollectionsInterface
The CollectionsInterface adds methods for managing collections. Collections are managed lists of elements. They can be used to create a folder type hierarchy for, say, assets and digital products. They are used to represent digital products and lists of favourites.
