Bulk data access

Bulk data access allows administrators to group studies into collections that users can download as a package. This is useful when datasets are frequently requested together or belong to a related series.

Editing and deleting

Use the Edit and Delete actions in the collection list to modify or remove a collection. Deleting a collection does not delete the studies — it only removes the bulk access grouping.

User-facing access

When a bulk access collection is published, users can download all attached studies as a package from the catalog's public interface.
