CS Online service now automatically calculates collectible title and its unique URL for referencing within collection using collectible template name. It means, for example, having "[index]: [face_value] [currency], [country] ([year])" template for coins, we will get:

• 1: 5 Zloty, Poland (2011)
• 2: 1 Cents, United States
• 3: 5 Cents, United States (2007)
• etc

Note: You have already probably noticed that second coin has no year information in the collectible title. Using the declared template, the title should be "2: 1 Cents, United States ()". But our smart service cleans the resulting title for your notational convenience. The same functionality was already developed in our CollectionStudio software.
