Users with the Library Administration authority profile use Library to manage the library structure and publish documents to the user base. Access to documents can be managed based on internal retailer users and external supplier users. The logging and tracking of user readership is also available.
To access Library, select Library on the main navigation bar. The list of published documents that can be accessed by the user is shown. Figure 10-1 shows an example of this page.
Document Folder Pane
The contents of the document library are presented as a structured hierarchy where documents are organized within a tree of libraries that contain any number of folders and sub-folders.
A user only sees the folders and sub-folders that contain documents to which the user has access. Clicking a folder or sub-folder name displays the list of all documents in the folder or sub-folder and all its sub-folders.
When a user puts focus on the lowest level folder, the number of documents is shown in brackets:
Archive shows the folder and sub-folder structure of archived documents. It is only available to users with the Library Administrator authority profile.
Permissions
Permissions control whether a user has access to the document library. Generally, all users are granted access. Access to individual documents can be granted or refused on a user basis. The Library Reader authority profile provides reader access to the library.
To display all the documents within and beneath a folder, click the folder name in the Document Folder pane area. Only those documents to which the user has access are shown.
Table 10-1 describes the columns displayed for the selected folder.

This section covers the following actions available to manage folders:
To create a new folder:
Select a folder in the left pane and select the New Folder action. A dialog box appears for entering the folder names.
Enter a folder name in any of the languages as needed. Select Ok.
If there are no errors, the folder is created in the Archive area.
If a folder name is entered for the Default language and that folder name is not unique, the Cannot Save Folder dialog box appears. Select Ok in the dialog box and reenter the folder name for the Default language.
If there are no errors, the folder is created in the Archive area.
To edit a folder:
Select a folder in the left pane and select the Edit Folder action. A dialog box appears for changing the folder names.
Enter any changes. Select Ok.
If there are no errors, the folder names are updated.
If a folder name is not unique, the Cannot Save Folder dialog box appears. Select Ok in the dialog box and reenter the folder name.

A folder can only be deleted if it does not contain any documents. To delete a folder:
Select the folder in the left pane and select the Delete Folder action. The Confirm Delete Folder dialog box appears.
To delete the folder, select Ok.

The archive area is only visible to Library Administrators. It is shown at the same level, but beneath the root node. For an example, see Figure 10-1.
The folder structure of the Archive area mirrors that of the Library area above it. Documents that have been set as archived are no longer visible to the general user, but remain accessible through this area. If an archived document is then un-archived, it reappears in the Library area within its original file structure.
The Read and Accept document actions are not available from this area. The option to delete a folder in the archive area is only available if the folder contains no documents.
This section covers the following operations available to manage documents:
To create a new document, select a folder in the archive area and select the New Document action. The New Document tab opens.
Table 10-2 describes the fields for this tab.
