Is there a collectionname.type documentation on what can be put in this field?

For example, `rt' means `right top' position, `tp' means `title prologue' position, `te' means `title epilogue' position, etc. If you need to place descriptions elsewhere, we can introduce a new `xx' type of position. Of course, this does not prevent us from introducing a `description' column in the collection table. But we would have to come up with a configurable machinery to decide where these descriptions should be displayed and how, which is kind of what the portalbox concept is here for. P.S. There is also `collectionname.type' machinery that can provide alternative names for collections, depending on the usage context. For example, `ln' means `long name' of the given collection.
