Create item collection

👍

Welcome note

Data hub is our new upgraded platform, which we rolled out in August 2025. It offers a single unified integration for passing your data through to your Bloomreach products.

You have access to Data hub if you've implemented with Bloomreach after August 2025.

Customers who have implemented before August 2025 should follow the existing documentation for Engagement, Discovery, and Clarity.

Item collection is a logical container for product data and business items. Create collections for different domains or environments in your business.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have:

• Access to a Bloomreach workspace with Data hub enabled.

• User account credentials to sign into the workspace.

• Item Collections Admin permissions to create and manage item collections.

• Understanding of item collection concepts.

Steps to create a new collection

Start by creating a container to store your product and variant data.

1. Go to Data hub from your Bloomreach workspace. This opens Data hub overview page. 

2. Click + New item collection.

   

3. Provide a unique collection name. The collection name is the logical container identifier. Collection names are unique to the workspace, not to the organization or an instance. For development workflows, you can create another collection with the same name in a different workspace. Remember that you can’t change the collection name after creating a collection.

   

4. Choose whether your items consist solely of products or include both products and their variants. You can change this after the collection is created. Add an optional display name or description.

5. Click Create. 

Your new collection appears under the Items tab. At this point, the collection contains no records and no items. Contact Bloomreach Support to delete an item collection.
