Create the first IDLI in a new DLLB

Select Create > Drawlist and give the new IDLI a meaningful name.
To add another Drawlist to a DLLB that already has member IDLIs, select Modify > Drawlist Library. (You can, of course, do this even if the DLLB is empty, as an alternative to the method given in the preceding paragraph.)

In either case, you will be presented with a Drawlist Management form.

This form is the same as that used to define local Drawlists. for further information, see the online help. The only difference is that as Draft Administrator you are creating Drawlists at Library level rather than at local user level. Only the basic principles of using the form will be repeated here, as a reminder.

The Drawlist Management form will be considered in two stages:

The upper part of the form is concerned with the creation and deletion of IDLI elements within a DLLB. This part of the form is explained in the remainder of this section.
The lower part of the form allows you to select elements from the Design DB for inclusion in the Add and Remove lists (ADDE and REME) of a specified IDLI. This part of the form is explained in Creating and Setting Up Tag Rules. The upper part of the Drawlist Management form appears like this:

Selecting a Drawlist Library

To specify the Drawlist Library whose member IDLIs you wish to modify, use the Drawlist Library option button.

The list that is presented to you includes both DLLBs you have defined and standard DLLBs that were supplied as part of the product (as determined by the Drawlists Library Reference on the Draft Defaults form; see Setting the System Defaults).
