Do we have the option for TV Show Collections?

I could have sworn I saw this option somewhere, but I cannot find it for the life of me. I did a search on the forum, but evidently my search-fu is weak and I found nothing about it. I can't find this option in my TinyMediaManager,  so I thought I would look for it on the Emby interface. In the Theater application, I did find the check mark option to group item into collections, but I can't find where to add shows to a collection or how to create new collections.

My example would be the Scooby-doo series:

  • 13 Ghost of...
  • New Scooby...
  • Pup Named... 
  • etcetera, etcetera..

I just want one entry anything Scooby-doo related. If need be, I will open all of my NFO files and add the <tag> there, but I really don't want to use that tedious method! Am I just blind or did I imagine this option?

Not sure I'm following: three-dot menu on TV show poster (or Detail page)>Add to Collection (New/Existing)?

What do you mean?  Just click three dot menu/right click to open context menu on card or within Show/Series.

I was just coming back to this thread to say I found it. HOWEVER there is a caveat to this option. The user must be an admin. Since we had that security scare several months ago, I am a regular user and I have a dedicated Admin account. I just remembered in the Theater app I am signed in as normal user and on my web browser I am the Admin. There is where I found the ability.

@GrimReaperas usual, you are as helpful as can be!

@Happy2Playno surprise you show up, I think you two guys fight to see who can be more helpful! 

Just so people know I am not crazy, here is my user profile options:

That is correct (and has been for a long time), regular users don't have the ability/permission to create Collections, they have Playlists and/or Favorites to group items according their preference.

Oh, one more thing! I am not asking nor do I not want this to change! Muy importante! I don't want my library getting cluttered with other users messing around. This is MY library and I rule it with an iron fist!
