  2. Select the required product name.
  3. In the Products window, select the name of a product that you want to create a repository for.
  4. Click the Repositories tab, and then click New Repository.

  5. In the Name field, enter a name for the repository.

    The Label field is populated automatically based on the name.

  6. From the Type list, select ansible collection.
