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/master/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.
Almost every default metadata file has a `collection_section` attribute. These attributes determine the order of the various sections and can be set by [customizing your config](#customizing-configs).
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 either bring it up in our Discord or raise an Issue on the [Configs Repo](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager-Configs/issues/new/choose).
