Collections

Collections are groups of Documents that can be used and created within Scout. Each document can contain metadata and text content. The text content is chunked and used for vector search. The metadata can be used to filter and sort the documents.

Create a new Collection

Click “Collections” in the nav, then click the ”+ New Collection” icon in the top of the UI to create a new Collection. Give it a name (required), a description (optional) and an icon image (optional) then click “Create”

Note that it may take around 30 seconds for Scout to provision the underlying vector database; status will be displayed in the UI.

Using Collections in Workflows

Collection Blocks and Save Blocks can be used within Workflows to query and save to Collections. Read Workflows > Collection Block and Workflows > Save Block for more information on how to use use them within Workflows.
