Learning about the Library application

The Library application allows for long-term storage of documents that have been received into Output Manager. Based on user permissions, library documents can be viewed, reprinted, and so on. Documents are placed in the Library by sending them to the Output Manager Document Library destination that was created by default for you. Documents are assigned to library folders in a dynamic manner using a library filing profile. The filing profile can be assigned by the Output Manager Document Library destination or business rules.

Navigation pane

In the navigation pane, click the Library button to open the Library application. The navigation pane displays a configurable Library tree showing all of the library document folders and saved queries. From the tree, you can create library folders for organizing library documents. Under the Library Document Queries folder, you can also create queries for quickly locating documents based on their properties and query folders for organizing queries. Library folders, query folders, and queries can be moved using drag-and-drop functionality.

When you right-click an item in the navigation pane, the following options will display. The options listed will vary depending on if a library folder, query folder, or query is selected.

The console window displays a tabbed view of the Library tree selection. When a library folder is selected in the tree, the Library grid will display listing all of the documents in the folder.

By default, navigating in the tree will replace the information in the active tab. Queries can be opened in a new tab, by right-clicking a query in the tree and clicking Open in New Tab.
