Franchise Collections
The franchise Default Collection File is used to create collections based on popular TV Show franchises, and can be
used as a replacement to the TMDb Collections that Plex creates out-of-the-box.
Unlike most Default Collection Files, Franchise works by placing collections inline with the main library items if your library allows it. For example, the "Pretty Little Liars" franchise collection will appear next to the "Pretty Little Liars" show in your library so that you have easy access to the other shows in the franchise.
This file has a Movie Library Counterpart.
Requirements & Recommendations
Supported Library Types: Show
Collections
| Collection | Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
<<Collection Name>>Example: Pretty Little Liars |

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.

[Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables.md) are NOT available to this default file.

???+ example "Example Template Variable Amendments"
The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

```yaml
libraries:
TV Shows:
collection_files:
- default: franchise
template_variables:
append_data:
"31917": Pretty Little Liars #(1)!
append_addons:
31917: [46958, 79863, 110531] #(2)!
sonarr_add_missing: true #(3)!
```
1. Add [TMDb Show 31917](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/31917-pretty-little-liars) to the data dictionary
2. Add [TMDb Shows 46958](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/46958), [79863](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/79863)
and [110531](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/110531) as addons of [TMDb Show
31917](https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/31917-pretty-little-liars) so that they appear in the same collection
3. Add items missing from your library in Plex to Sonarr
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.
