Collection
In Dessix, a Collection is an automatic space that dynamically aggregates content based on rules. It allows scattered information to automatically gather without manual organization.
Core Features
Automation
You just need to set rules, and the Collection will automatically capture all content that meets the conditions.
Rule examples:
type:note AND keyword:AI AND updated:last7daysDynamic Updates
When you create a new note that meets the rules, it will automatically appear in this Collection without manual addition. Similarly, when content no longer meets the rules, it will automatically be removed.
Cross-Folder Aggregation
Collections can span all folders, bringing together related information scattered everywhere. No matter where a note is stored, as long as it meets the rules, it can be captured by the Collection.
Can Be Referenced
Collections can be referenced using @. When you @CollectionName in a conversation or note, AI can access all dynamically aggregated content within that Collection.
When to Use
When you need a dynamically changing view focused on a specific dimension, Collections are the best choice.
Typical scenarios:
- 📅 Create a "Last 7 Days" collection to track recently active notes
- 📰 Create a "Today's Clips" collection to aggregate articles clipped from the web today
- 💡 Create an "All AI Inspirations" collection to automatically capture related content
- 🏷️ Create a "Specific Tag" collection to aggregate all content on a topic
Comparison with Folders
| Feature | Collection | Folder |
|---|---|---|
| Management | Rule-based auto | Manual drag-drop |
| Content Change | Dynamic updates | Static fixed |
| Organization Logic | Cross boundaries | Hierarchical |
| Purpose | Logical aggregation | Physical archiving |
Collections are mainly used for logical aggregation and quick access—when you need to break through folder boundaries and quickly find related content by some dimension, it's the most powerful tool.
