> ## Creating Collections and Collection Views in Fathom

> You can create one or more groups of resources, known as collections, in Fathom. When you create a collection, you typically group together resources that have a common element: for example, all the database resources used by one division in your company, or all resources that support one particular application. When you group resources, you can more easily examine their details and assess their status.

> You can also optionally create one or more custom views within a collection and specify exactly what types of information you want to see. The information provides a customized view, sometimes in a graphical format, of your various resources' status.

> This chapter provides the following information about collections and custom views:
