The `- pmm: show/decade` Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the decades available in your library, sorted by critic rating to create a "best of <decade>"
| sort_by | Controls the sort method for the collections | `audience_rating.desc` | Any sort method in the [Sorts Options Table](#sort-options) |
| collection_section | Controls the sort order of these collections against other default collections | `12` | Any number |
| collection_mode | Controls the collection mode of these collections | `default` | `default` - Library default<br/>`hide` - Hide Collection<br/>`hide_items`- Hide Items in this Collection<br/>`show_items` - Show this Collection and its Items |
| use_other | Controls whether an "Other" collection is created for any items not included in the initial criteria | `true` | `true` or `false` |
| use_separator | Controls whether a separator is created | `true` | `true` or `false` |
| sep_style | Sets the theme of the separator | `orig` | `orig`, `blue`, `gray`, `green`, `purple`, `red`, `stb` |
| item_sonarr_tag | Sonarr Tag for existing items | | list of tag(s) to be applied to existing items |
The below shows an example config.yml with all the template_variables set away from their defaults:
Dynamic Collections attributes can also be edited to tweak the setup of the collections. The YAML file which creates the `decade` collections can be found [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/blob/defaults/defaults/show/decade.yml)
An example of this is; to change the collection titles to "Best Movies of <decade>, the following template variable can be used:
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- pmm: show/decade
template_variables:
title_format: Best <<library_type>>s of <<key_name>>
```
Further information on editing Dynamic Collections using template variables can be found [here](https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/home/guides/defaults.html#customizing-configs)
