If you have a MoDaC user account with upload permission, you can add a collection (such as a program, study, or datasetasset) as follows:

• You can add a program. 
• If you are member of a group that has permission to edit an existing program (or if you created a program), you can add a study to that program. 
• If you are member of a group that has permission to edit an existing study (or if you created a study), you can add a dataset asset to that study. 

When you create a collection, you become the owner of that collection. (Ownership cannot be changed.)

1. Log in, as described in Logging In. 
2. Click Upload in the header. The upload page appears. 
3. Navigate to the collection in which you want to create a new collection. In the next field, click the Register New option. (For example, to add a new datasetasset, select an existing program from the program list, select an existing study from the study list, and then select click Register New DatasetAsset. The Select Asset Type dialog box appears. Select an asset type. Click Select.) A registration dialog box appears. 
4. Specify the information for the new collection:
   • In the Permissions field, select one or more groups from the list. (If the Permissions field is empty, only you, as the person who created the collection, can edit the metadata, add files, or add subcollections.)
   • To add a metadata attribute, click the Add Metadata option (such as Add Dataset Asset Metadata). A blank attribute row appears. Specify a unique attribute name. (Repeat for additional attributes. To delete an attribute, click the X.)
   • If you do not want the public to have access to the data, clear the Public checkbox and select one or more groups from the list. 
   • Specify a value for each required metadata attribute. (Once you register the collection, the identifier is permanent.)
5. When you have finished specifying information for the new collection, click the Register button (such as Register DatasetAsset).
