Creating and Setting Up Collections

How to Create a Collection

Follow these steps to create a collection in Startrail PORT:

1. Access Account Information

1. Log in to Startrail PORT
2. Click "Account Information" at the bottom left of the screen

2. Navigate to License Settings

1. In the Account Information screen, click the "License Settings" button
2. Select the "Collections" tab within the License Settings screen

3. Create New Collection

1. Click the "Create New Collection" button within the "Collections" tab
2. Enter collection information:
   • Collection Name (Required): Enter a name representing the collection (alphanumeric characters)
   • Collection Symbol (Required): Enter a 3-6 character alphanumeric identifier
     • Collection units can be freely set according to your purpose:
       • Examples:
         • Per issuing license (e.g., Startbahn)
         • Per project/exhibition (e.g., Mount Fuji Exhibition 3.0) ★ Recommended
         • Per artist (e.g., Taihei Shii)
         • Per NFT
     • Collection names and symbols can be freely set, and you can use collection names or symbols that are already in use by others.
3. Click the "Create" button to create the new collection

Once creation is complete, the new collection will be added to the collection list and a collection address will be issued. This address is used to identify the collection in external services.

How to Link SRRs to Collections

Specify Collection When Creating New SRRs

1. Check the "Collection Settings" section on the "Create SRR" page
2. Click the "Collection" button and select the collection you created
   • If you haven't created a collection, select the default collection "Startrail Registry Record"
3. Enter other necessary artwork information and complete the SRR creation process as usual
4. When the SRR is issued, it will automatically be linked to the selected collection

Important Note

You cannot add or change the collection of previously issued SRRs.

SRRs issued before the collection feature was available are linked to the default collection (Startrail Registry Record).

Tips for Using the Collection Feature

• Unified Naming Convention: Using consistent naming patterns across related collections makes them easier to recognize
• Symbol Selection: Symbols are important identifiers that are also displayed in external services. Choose memorable strings that are relevant to your content
• Regular Updates: When issuing new SRRs, don't forget to link them to the appropriate collection

Integration with External Services

Collections created in Startrail PORT will be properly grouped and displayed on external NFT marketplaces like OpenSea. This improves the discoverability of your works on external platforms and enhances their value as collections.

When checking and managing collections on external services:

• To edit collection information, you need to temporarily transfer collection owner rights to an individual account (EOA). For details, please see here
• When logging into external services, you must use the same wallet address that you use in Startrail PORT
• It may take some time for collection information to be reflected
• If there are issues with collection display, try using the external service's metadata refresh feature

By utilizing Startrail PORT's collection feature, you can make NFT artwork management and display more flexible than ever before, allowing you to maximize the value of your works.
