When you create a collection by assigning the results of a query to it, that collection is dynamic and is updated regularly based on the query results.

To create a collection by assigning the results of a query:

Navigate to your dataverse homepage.
Click My Options, scroll to Curator options, and then click Manage Collections.
You see the Manage Collections page.
Locate the root collection to create a direct subcollection in the root, or locate any other existing collection in which you choose create a new collection. Then, click the Create link in the Create Child field for that collection.
You see the Study Collection page.
In the Type field, click the Dynamic option.
Enter your collection Name.
Select the Parent in which you choose to create the collection.
The default is the collection in which you started on the Manage Collections page. You cannot create a collection in another dataverse unless you have permission to do so.
Enter a Description of this collection.
In the Enter query field, enter the study field terms for which to search to assign studies with those terms to this collection.
Use the following guidelines:
- Almost all study fields can be used to build a collection query.
  The study fields must be entered in the appropriate format to search the fields' contents. See the Metadata References for a specification of the query term to use for each study field when building a query.
- Use the following format for your query: title:Elections AND keywordValue:world.
  For more information on query syntax, refer to the Documentation page at the Lucene website and look for Query Syntax.
- For each study in a dataverse, the Study Global Id field in the Cataloging Information consists of three query terms: protocol, authority, and globalID.
  If you build a query using protocol, your collection can return any study that uses the protocol you specified.
  If you build a query using all three terms, you collection returns only one study.
To limit this collection to search for results in your own dataverse, click the Only your dataverse check box.
Click Save Collection.
You see the Manage Collections window, with the new collection listed.
