Supplied Libraries
The Sample Project supplied with the product contains two Departm and . These Departments contai Libraries that contain sample sheets, symbols, and rulesets for tagg representation etc. The contents of the sample Libraries are summa in Appendix C.
2.4
Searching Libraries
When a DRAFT application user attempts to create a new element, example, a symbolic label, the application searches for relevant Lib in a specific sequence. It looks at each LIBY in the DEPT in the list order until it finds one that contains appropriate type of Library. It adds this LIBY and all subsequent LIBYs to the scrollable list on th Library form until it finds a LIBY which does not contain a relevant LALB. No further searching is carried out. You're Reading a Preview
This principle allows you, as the Administrator, to hide LIBYs from user by adding them to the end with of the members list. (You co Unlock full access a freeDEPT’s trial. alternatively, store all reference LIBYs in a separate DEPT, but thi would add extra DEPTs to the user’s List.) Download With Free Members Trial
It is important to note that, due to this method of searching for the LIBYs, different types of Libraries must be grouped together under same Department if they are all to be available to the user.

The text to the right of the CE button shows the type of element required for each Library.
