Dynamic Collections for Computer Models

Would really like to see PDQ Inventory automatically create collections for each computer manufacturer and model. Creating this manually and keeping it up to date requires a lot of effort. What would be even better is to make the feature more adaptable so that it could be used for any inventory field. The ability to create a dynamic collection that will automatically create separate collections for each value in the model field for instance.

An issue I see with doing this automatically/out of the box, is that the database size would increase a lot. How are you keeping it up to date? Devices will update the collection once it is created. Should be a one and done. Only need to make new collections when a new version comes out, which isn't that often per year.

First collection: Manufacturer (Hewlett-Packard / HP)

Second collection: Make (Probook)

Third collection: Model (Probook 440)

Fourth collection: Version (G3)
