Searching Libraries

When a Draft application user attempts to create a new element, for example, a symbolic label, the application searches for relevant Libraries in a specific sequence. It looks at each LIBY in the DEPT in the listed order until it finds one that contains appropriate type of Library. It then adds this LIBY and all subsequent LIBYs to the scrollable list on the Library form until it finds a LIBY which does not contain a relevant LALB. No further searching is carried out.

This principle allows you, as the Administrator, to hide LIBYs from the user by adding them to the end of the DEPT’s members list. (You could, alternatively, store all reference LIBYs in a separate DEPT, but this would add extra DEPTs to the user’s Members List.)

It is important to note that, due to this method of searching for the LIBYs, different types of Libraries must be grouped together under the same Department if they are all to be available to the user.
