All entities in an HM database are stored in collectors. Based on the assigned template, each collector may use a dictionary or card image to define the attributes assigned to the collector. The definitions contained in the dictionaries or card image are used to translate models to external analysis codes.
The various collector panels allow you to create and update collectors and assign and edit card images or dictionaries.
