51The Create view is used to create the collection by running Greenstone
52collection-building scripts on the information you have provided. This is
53generally straightforward: just click "Build Collection" at the bottom of the
54screen. However, the building process can be customized. You can also use
55this view to review details of previous attempts to build this collection,
56whether successful or not.
57<p></p>
58The buttons for building and cancelling the building process are at the bottom.
59Above appears a group of controls titled "Collection Import &amp; Build Options".
60To the left is a list of three items, and to the right is a pane that reflects
61the currently chosen item in the list, as described in the following sections.
62<p></p>
63Clicking "Build Collection" initiates the collection building process. The time
64this takes depends on the size of the collection and the number of indexes
65being created (for huge collections it can be hours). To cancel the process at
66any time, click "Cancel Build".

69Once the collection has successfully built, clicking "Preview Collection" will launch a web browser showing the home page of the collection.
