Use the Collectors panel to create, review, and edit collectors and card images or dictionaries.

A collector is a database entity that groups other entities, collecting all the data pertaining to those entities and allowing you to handle the data as a group.  Before you create an entity, you must first create a collector in which to store the data.

The Collectors panel displays fields for card images or dictionaries depending on the type of solver template that is referenced.  If a card image template is loaded, or no template is loaded, the panel displays card image related fields. If a dictionary template is loaded, the panel displays dictionary related fields.  Card image and dictionary entry fields are used in the same way except that when a card image solver is being used and edit is selected, the card image is displayed in a new area of the screen.  For dictionary solvers, the data is shown in the existing menu area.

You can create a collector by three methods:

Create the collector and load a card image or dictionary.
Create the collector without a card image or dictionary.
Create the collector and copy the card image or dictionary information, along with the type of the collector, from an existing collector.

See Collectors for information on what a collector is.
