Collections are very tightly tied to data schema- or data templates- from the Collection Manager. When creating a collection you first select an existing data template or create a new data schema. Next, set up the collection properties (thumbnail labels, header graphic, sort order, etc). Once these properties are created you're ready to go to the Library Uploader and upload media items and data directly to a collection. Or, you can also move items from existing collections or the Independent Media Items into a collection.
Use the Record Editor to edit records in a collection, and to link additional images to records.

After a collection is built only the items that you have checked for display in the LUNA Viewer will be available to your audience. This can be done automatically in the LUNA Uploader or manually in the Record Editor. To see all items in a collection which are available in the LUNA Viewer use the "Other Criteria" menu in the advanced search. You'll also know an item is being displayed in the LUNA Viewer when you see the little green indicator on the media item thumbnail:

Both a record and it's linked media item need to have the "For display in LUNA Viewer" box checked. If one is checked but not the other the item will not be displayed in the LUNA Viewer. This is done in the Record Editor and Media Item Editor but can also be done automatically by applying the correct settings in the LUNA Library Uploader. |

Unlike a collection there is no data schema for Independent Media Items. You can add custom data fields using the Media Item Editor, but there is no Record Editor with the IMI since there are no records.
...
If you've added items to the LUNA Viewer using the MyUploads feature, they will appear here in the IMI. By default the items in the IMI are private to you, but you can make them available to other users by changing the access permissions. You can also choose whether the items can be edited and deleted by others.
When you are in context of the IMI you'll see all your items as well as any MyUploads items marked as public.
