Toggles the Collection Basket pane on and off. The Collection Basket that enables you to gather and sort records for one-click access and optional processing.
The Collection Basket only slightly differs in function from regular collections. For this reason, most of the functions available while working with standard collections—changing view sets, saving and sharing contents, resorting, etc.—are also available from within the Collection Basket.
The Collection Basket pane appears on the right side of the main collection window and has its own toolbar.

Changing the Appearance and Size of the Collection Basket
The appearance of the Collection Basket can be changed using many of the same options you know from standard collections:
• Thumbnails and Details — Use the toolbar icons for changing the Collection Basket between thumbnail and detail views. (Make sure the Collection Basket is the active pane before making the change.)
• Record View Sets — Use the Record View Set menu found under the icon located at the top of the Collection Basket pane to choose from the available Record View Sets.
• Thumbnail Size — Use the standard thumbnail resizing icon located on the toolbar to adjust the size of Collection Basket thumbnails. You’ll also notice that when you reduce the width of the Basket using the vertical bar, the thumbnails scale down in size to remain visible.
In addition, you can resize the Collection Basket by dragging the bar that divides the main collection and Collection Basket panes. Double-clicking this bar minimizes the pane or resizes it again.
Working with the Collection Basket’s Contents
Moving Asset Records Into the Basket
Add asset records to the Collection Basket from the main collection window using drag & drop. Select one or more records and drag them into the Basket. You can add as many records at a time as you need, and you can add additional records at any time thereafter.
Removing Asset Records from the Basket
Select one or more records inside the Collection Basket and press the DEL key on your keyboard to remove them from the Basket. The items are removed from the Basket, but not from the main collection or catalog.
Optionally, you can use the menu command Find > Remove Record from Collection.
Rearranging the Order of Asset Records in the Basket
As you would in any other collection window, you can drag thumbnails around in the Collection Basket to rearrange them. You can also sort the contents of the Basket using the Sort By menu found under the icon located at the top of the Collection Basket pane. (Use the Sort Direction menu to reverse the sort.)
Outputting the Collection Basket’s Contents
The icon open a list from which you can select an output option for the contents of the Collection Basket. It lists the asset actions available to you by permissions, and also includes several standard Cumulus functions, such as emailing, creating Web albums and printing thumbnails.
Choose an asset action and then use the buttons provided to choose whether you intend to output the entire contents of the Collection Basket or just the selected items.
Once you make your selection and click OK, the Collection Basket passes the list of assets to the selected action. Then the asset action is processing. At that point, you might see the user interface of the active module and can set parameters for the processing. (Or, if you’ve chosen an asset action that is configured for no user interaction, you will not see any further windows.)
• For information on the Web Album function, see “WebAlbum” .
