If your user account has the Write or Own permission level on an existing collection in DME, and if that existing collection has been configured to contain another collection, you can create an empty collection within that existing collection. The following command registers the metadata specified in <description.json> to the <destination-path> in DME. 

To create an empty collection:

   Code Block
   { "metadataEntries": [ { "attribute": "project", "value": "my-project-name" }, { "attribute": "collection_type", "value": "Folder" } ] }

2. Run the following command:

   Code Block
   dm_register_collection <description.json> <destination-path>

   The following table describes each parameter:

   Parameter	Description
   <description.json>	A path to the JSON file that specifies the metadata for the new collection.
   <destination-path>	A path within DME, including the name of the collection you intend to create. Specify where you want the system to create the new collection.

   The following command registers the metadata specified in <description.json> to the <destination-path> in DME.
