# Data Collection with Limit Set

We can choose to create the **Limit Sets** from the created **Data Collection**, in which case they will automatically be associated, or we can create a **Data Collection Limit Set**, from the **Business Data** menu, and then associate it to the **Data Collection**.

As **Data Collection Limit Sets** are versioned objects, we will have to [[user-guide-create-change-set]] or use one we already have.

For more information, see [[user-guide-change-set-index]].

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will create the **Data Collection Limit Set** within each **Data Collection**.

On the **Data Collection** page, go to the sections on the right, select **Limit Sets**, and then select :material-plus: Add:

In the **Create New Data Collection Limit Set** wizard, give the **Limit Set** a name, and notice how it is already linked to the desired **Data Collection**:

!!! info
    The Limit Set configuration of the Parameters Limits step that follows is the same for Classic and Modern Data Collections.

In the **Parameters Limits** step, add the following **Parameters** with the information shown below:

* Cookie Diameter

* Cookie Thickness

![Screenshot showing a data collection setup with a limit set, including parameters and filename "dc limitset 04".](../images/dc_limitset_04.png)

At the end select **Create**, and two **Limit Sets**, with the entered **Parameters**, and duly associated to to their **Data Collection**, will be available:

=== "Parameter Limits of Classic Data Collection"

    ![classic](../images/limit_set_01.png)

=== "Parameter Limits of Modern Data Collection"

    ![modern](../images/limit_set_02.png)

Now that the **Data Collections** have been fully configured with the **Parameters** and **Limit Sets**, their **Details** page should look like this:

=== "Parameters and Limit Sets"

    ![classic](../images/dc_classic_details.png)

=== "Parameters and Limit Sets"

    ![modern](../images/dc_modern_details.png)
