There are two instances of SystemC in the view of the hierarchy because CollectionC is the
same throughout the application. Any place that CollectionC is referenced, it will always
contain the same systems. However, SystemD appears only under CollectionB. CollectionB
and Copy of CollectionB are distinct and independent collections.

Move

Move enables you to easily move a collection exactly where you want it in the hierarchy.

NOTE:

Collections can be moved from Private to Shared, but not from Shared to Private.

Delete

Most collections can be deleted. However, there are some restrictions.

Collections cannot be deleted if they are not empty.

Collections cannot be deleted if they are in use. That is, if the collection is the target for
a scheduled task, if it is used for the System Status panel, or if it is used in some other
collection, then it cannot be deleted.

The All Systems and All Events collections cannot be deleted.

After a collection is deleted, it cannot be recovered.

Set Properties

Collections have properties, and these properties define the way collections behave in the
System and Event Collections panel and elsewhere in HP SIM.

Visible property

It might be the case that there are system or event collections, that are either shipped with
HP SIM or are user-defined, that you do not use, but at the same time, do not want to
delete. If you do not use these collections, but you do not want to delete them, you can
remove them from the user interface by using the Visible setting in the collection properties.
When you select No, do not show collection and its members in the user interface for a
collection, that collection no longer appears in the System and Event Collections panel,
in the Task Wizard, or any place in the user interface (except the customization panel
itself) where collections are shown.

Making collections invisible can make the System and Event Collections panel less cluttered,
but note that once you make collections invisible, they are excluded everywhere in HP
SIM including being removed from tasks. For example, if a task is scheduled to run with

Collections in HP SIM
