# BAFTA Default Metadata File

The `- pmm: chart/bafta` Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the genres available in your library.

This file also merges similarly named genres (such as "Sci-Fi", "SciFi" and "Sci-Fi & Fantasy") into one ("Science Fiction")

Example Collections Created:

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:
```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: chart/bafta
```


## Template Variables
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file from the default settings which are provided. 

Note that the `templates_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do NOT want to use the default settings.

Below are the available variables which can be used to customize the file.


| Variable           | Usage                                                                                                  | Default Value  |                                                                             Values                                                                             |

| 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_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`                                                     |

The below shows an example config.yml with all of the template_variables set away from their defaults:

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: chart/bafta
        template_variables:
          sort_by: title.asc
          collection_section: 5
          collection_mode: show_items
          use_separator: false
          sep_style: red
```
