> #### Collections

> Fathom now supports the creation of user-defined groups of resources known as collections. Collections extend the more limited My Fathom views available previously in Fathom Management; views are now incorporated into collections.

> You can use the collection feature to better organize and operate on resources. For example, you might create a collection, known as Collection A, that includes all resources on which a particular application depends. You might then create another collection, known as Collection B, that is also dependent on one of the resources in Collection A. If the resource common to both Collection A and Collection B fails, the failure is reflected in the status of both collections, enabling you to determine quickly the extent and the impact of the failure.

> A collection can be shared or private and can include any number of the following resources:

> - Monitored resources
> - Jobs
> - Reports
> - Other collections

> For details about collections, see the Resource Monitoring Guide.
