# Collectionless Collection
The `collectionless` Default Collection File is used to create a
[Collectionless collection](../../files/builders/plex.md#plex-collectionless) to help Show/Hide Movies/Shows properly in
your library.
![](../images/collectionless.png)
## Requirements & Recommendations
Supported Library Types: Movie, Show
Requirements:
* This file needs to run last under `collection_files`.
* All other normal collections must use `collection_mode: hide_items`.
* Disable the `Minimum automatic collection size` option when using the `Plex Movie` Agent. (Use the
[`franchise` Default](../movie/franchise.md) for automatic collections)
## Collection
| Collection | Description |
|:-----------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `Collectionless` | [Collectionless collection](../../files/builders/plex.md#plex-collectionless) to help Show/Hide Movies/Shows properly in your library. |
## Config
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
template_variables:
collection_mode: hide_items
collection_files:
- default: collectionless
TV Shows:
template_variables:
collection_mode: hide_items
collection_files:
- default: collectionless
```
## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to
make your own local copy.
Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults
work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

* **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults file.
???+ warning
[Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables.md) are NOT available to this default file.

## Default Values
Unless you customize them as described above, these collections use default lists and searches to create the collections.
If you are interested in customizing the default values, you can find that information [here](#template-variables).
If you are interested in seeing what those default builders are, you can find that information [here](../sources.md).
