Collection help
A personal account is required for creating an image collection.
The following video was produced by Jacqueline Klusik-Eckert to support teachers preparing their online classes. In this video she shows how to create and share prometheus collections. And we want to share her video:
Selecting images
If you want to select a certain image or images for the collection, tick the checkbox besides the image . Alternatively, the button "Select all images" allows you to select all search results of one page directly.
Now all selected images can be saved to the collection or a new collection can be created.
Creating a new collection
To create a new collection click the button "Store images in ..." and press
the button "New collection".
Now you can give your collection a title including a description and add keywords.
Example
You are attending a class on Renaissance Sculpture in Italy. You have several options to create collections for individual classes:
| Title: | Donatello |
|---|---|
| Description: | Class - Renaissance Sculpture |
| Keywords: | Florence, David, Bronze, 1386-1466 |
| Title: | Michelangelo |
|---|---|
| Description: | Class - Renaissance Sculpture |
| Keywords: | Florence, David, Marble, 1475-1564, St. Peter's Basilica, Pieta. |
In doing so, collections of various artists can be allocated to a particular class and linked by using keywords.
Example: You are using the keyword "David". The search results show the collections of Donatello and Michelangelo.
Saving images
After selecting images by ticking the checkbox and pressing the button "Store images in", select
the image collection you wish to use in the drop down menu.
The images are copied automatically to the selected collection.
Please note that selecting images is only possible for the actual screen. Save the selected images first before switching to another screen.
Working with collections
The content of the collection can be sorted by using the following criteria:
- Artist
- Title
- Location
- Credits
- Database name
You have the option to view the images as a list 
with essential metadata or in the Gallery 
mode.
Deletes an image from the collection.
Management of the image collection
The submenu offers the following options:
- Own: Lists all own collections
- Shared: Lists all shared collections
- Public: Lists all public collections
- Create new collection
Working with shared collections
Under "Shared" you can see a list of all collections that have been shared with you. There are both "shared for viewing" and "shared for editing" ones.
Collections shared for editing may be edited freely by you and other collaborators. But only the owner may change the title or modify the access rights.
Collections shared for viewing may be viewed, forked and downloaded. Only the owner or collaborators may edit the collection. If you would like to work on such a collection you can fork it or contact the collection's owner to add you as a collaborator.
Forks of shared collections will be marked private initially and added to your list of collections. Access rights are not inherited from the parent collection.
Working with public collections
Under "Public" you can see a list of all publicly accessible collections. There are both "publicly readable" and "publicly writable" ones.
Publicly readable collections may be viewed, forked and downloaded by any user. Only the owner or collaborators may edit the collection. If you would like to work on such a collection you can fork it or contact the collection's owner to add you as a collaborator.
Publicly writable collections may be edited by anyone. But only the owner may change the title or modify the access rights.
Forks of public collections will be marked private initially and added to your list of collections. Access rights are not inherited from the parent collection.
Functions for working with collections
The icons next to the heading of the open collection lead to different functions for working with the collection.

collection (title, description, thumbnail, public access).
