*Collections* are folders used to organise *Objects* in the **Methods**
Inventory. In this case, *Objects* are protocols.
*Collections* need to be created inside another folder, called
*Project*, in the **Methods** *Space* in the inventory.
For example, if we want to create a collection of lab protocols for
microscopy and Mass spec, we need to adopt the following steps:
1. Register a first *Project* folder called LAB\_PROTOCOLS in the
**Methods** *Space*.
1. In the **Lab** **Protocols** folder, register two additional
Collections called Microscopy Protocols and MS Protocols
The steps for the registration of the folders are the same as explained
in [Create Collections of
Materials](https://openbis.ch/index.php/docs/admin-documentation-openbis-19-06-4/customise-inventory-of-materials-and-samples/create-collections-of-materials/)

## Enable Protocols in Settings
If a new *Object type* for a protocol is created by an *Instance admin*
in the admin interface, it is advisable to set the *Object type* to
**Protocol** in the **Settings**, under **Utilities**.
For this, follow the steps below:
1. Go to **Settings**
2. Click **Edit**
3. Scroll to the last section of the **Settings**: **Object Type
definitions Extension**
4. Open the *Object type* corresponding to your protocol, e.g.
**General Protocol**
5. Select **Use as Protocol**
6. **Save**
This is done to be able to create local copies of protocols from the
*Inventory* inside an *Experiment* when writing *Experimental steps,* as
described in [How to use protocols in Experimental
Steps](https://openbis.ch/index.php/docs/user-documentation/lab-notebook/how-to-use-protocols-in-experimental-steps/)
