# Plex Meta Manager Default Collections & Overlays
There is a default set of Metadata and Overlay Files located in the [PMM Folder](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/master/PMM) in the [Plex Meta Manager Configs](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs) Repository.
The intention of this directory is to offer easy to use and slightly customizable (using [`template_variables`](../../config/paths.md#template-variables)) Metadata and Overlay Files for a general user who wants nice collections but doesn't want to learn all of Plex Meta Manager.
All posters defined in the Metadata Files are stored in the [Plex Meta Manager Images](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Images) Repository and all Overlay images are in the [Configs](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs) Repository at [PMM/overlays/images](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/tree/sohjiro/PMM/overlays/images), which allows for changes to be made in one central location that will deploy to all users of this setup when they next run PMM.
Credits to Bullmoose20 and Yozora for helping drive this entire Default Set of Configs through the concept, design and implementation.
Special thanks to Magic815 for the overlay image inspiration and base template.
## Configurations
To run a file in git you can simply add it to your `metadata_path` (For Metadata Files) or `overlay_path` (For Overlay Files) using `git` like so:
Configs can be customized using the `template_variables` attribute when calling the file. These `template_variables` will be given to every template call in the file which allows them to affect how that file runs.
Each file has a comment block at the top showing the available `template_variables` for each file. For example the [`PMM/genre`](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/blob/master/PMM/genre.yml) has this:
Each of these when passed will change how the collection runs slightly.
*`use_separator` Turn the separator collection on/off
*`sort_by` Sets how the collection is sorted
*`collection_mode` Sets the collection mode of the collection
*`collection_section` Sets the value at the start of the sort title
**In addition to the defined `template_variables` each file in the PMM Folder has access to the `radarr_add_missing` and `sonarr_add_missing` template variables and for dynamic collections most attributes can be passed as template variables**
For example if you want yearly oscar collections that go back 10 years instead of 5 all of which gets sent to radarr use the `data` and `radarr_add_missing` template variables.
If there are collections being made that have configuration errors or missing posters please raise an Issue on the [Configs Repo](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/issues/new/choose).
