Collections Module

A home for every item. A head start for every workflow.

Organize assets into collections with photographs, categories, and flexible metadata. Assign them to clients, then carry linked item records into other BRAD workflows when the work calls for it.

Built for teams using Collections

Keep the item record together.

Build a useful catalog before deciding whether an item needs an appraisal, an auction, or a sales listing.

Organized collections

Group related items into named collections and maintain the collection's description and ownership information.

Client assignments

Assign collections to users so your team can keep the catalog connected to the client it belongs to.

Item photo galleries

Attach item photographs, choose a primary image, and manage the supporting images for each record.

Flexible metadata

Capture item descriptions, categories, and custom metadata that suit the assets you are cataloging.

Linked item records

Use BRAD's shared item layer to retain links between supported module records and synchronize shared item details.

Import and export workflows

Move items through the shared import and export tools, including transfers to other enabled modules that support them.

The day-to-day workflow

Catalog first. Choose the next step later.

Give your team a durable starting point for every asset instead of rebuilding its record for each job.

A closer look

Questions about the Collections module?

A few details to help you plan how this module fits your business.

Do we need Auctions to use Collections?

No. Collections is a standalone cataloging module. Transfers into Auctions, Appraisals, or Sales depend on those destination modules being enabled and available.

Can collections belong to a client?

Yes. Collections can be assigned to users, and each item retains its collection association, photographs, and metadata.

What carries between linked items?

Supported module records use the shared linked-item service for common item details and images. Each module still manages the fields and workflow that are specific to its own record.
