Creating a Library
A library context provides the space in which you can store and provide access to business information. For example, all documents owned by a department can be stored in a department library.
Libraries can also hold objects that are not related to a single product. For example, parts that are related to more than one product could be stored in a common parts library (such as a Commodity Parts or Engineered Parts library), from which you allow multiple product teams access to those parts.
Libraries are created under an organization by members of the library creators group or by the organization administrator. The organization administrator can add users who are members of the organization to the library creators group from Organizations > Creators. The new library icon appears on the Libraries table (accessed by selecting Libraries > View All) only for members of the library creators group. For detailed instructions, see the help available from the New Library window.
