The flag link collection in PFCG means that the folder with its entries is rendered as a collection of related links that belongs to the current selected folder and that is displayed below the navigation tree on the left side of the shell.

You can set this flag on the Menu tab in PFCG if you select the relevant folder and choose Other Node Details and select the option Link Collection for Folder Options.

Typical names of a link collection are You can Also, See Also, Create New or Services which is then a collection of links with this functionality.

Note that link collections are visualized always on the left panel for the selected folder. When clicking on an entry in a link collection, it is always started in a new window.

(Link Collection example)

A folder which is specified as link collection is always a child folder belonging to a parent folder. A link collection thus belongs to and is displayed for a folder and all entries of this folder. A folder can have multiple link collections.

One speciality of link collections is the way that they are propagated down through the navigation tree. A link collection on a folder at any level of the navigation tree will also then be visible for all children folders. If there is more than one link collection for the same folder with exactly the same display name, the collections will be merged.
