Collections in Bulkgrid are not just named groups. They support rule-based curation.

​
Rule model

Collection rules support:
  • action: include or exclude
  • target: source, folder, or url
  • source context through source_id
  • target value through target_id
  • optional metadata on added rules

​
What this lets customers do

  • include an entire source
  • include one folder from a source
  • exclude a noisy subfolder
  • include or exclude specific URLs

​
What the API returns

The rules endpoint does more than just list rules. It also returns:
  • aggregate rule counts
  • effective counts by source
That matters because customers need to understand the actual collection boundary after include and exclude rules interact. Bulkgrid also supports:
  • linking sources to collections
  • linking documents to collections with include/exclude rules
  • linking folders to collections with include/exclude rules

​
Why this matters

This is one of the biggest practical differences between a curated knowledge platform and a naive “search everything” approach.
