# Basic Chart Default Metadata File

The `basic` Metadata File is used to create collections based on recently released media in your library.

Example Collections Created:

![](../images/basic.png)

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: basic
```


## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file from the default settings which are provided. 

Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do NOT want to use the default settings.

As this file is more complex than others, a key system is used to control each collection that is created by the file. Each key refers to one chart and is used to control multiple template variables.

Below are the keys and what they refer to:

| Key      | Chart          |
|:---------|:---------------|
| released | Newly Released |
| episodes | New Episodes   |



Below are the available variables which can be used to customize the file. Note that any use of `key` within the variable should be replaced with the `key` from the above table (i.e. `use_episodes` instead of `use_key`, `order_released` instead of `order_key`)


| Variable               | Usage                                                                          | Default Value      |                                                                             Values                                                                             |
