Network Collections
The network Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the networks available in your library.
???+ danger "Important"
This default requires that the library be set to use the "Plex TV Series" scanner and the "Plex Series" agent.
The error in this case will be `Plex Error: plex_search attribute: network not supported`.
Requirements & Recommendations
Supported Library Types: Show
Collections Section 050
| Collection | Key | Description |

Config
The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

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.
??? abstract "Variable Lists (click to expand)"
* **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this Kometa Defaults file.
* **Shared Template Variables** are additional variables shared across the Kometa Defaults.
* **Shared Separator Variables** are additional variables available since this Default contains a
[Separator](../separators.md).

```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
collection_files:
- default: network
template_variables:
style: white
append_exclude:
- BBC #(1)!
sort_by: title.asc
collection_mode: show_items #(2)!
sep_style: gray #(3)!
```
1. exclude "BBC" from the list of items that should be included in the Collection list
2. Show these collections and their items within the "Library" tab
3. Use the gray [Separator Style](../separators.md#separator-styles)
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.
