Functions and procedures in Libraries
Libraries are a means to create reusable instructions when Master Templates are executed. While Includes are compiled in Master Templates, Libraries are self-contained, dynamic components.
Libraries can contain different kinds of functions and procedures:
- Formatting functions used to format Fields in Text Blocks.
You can extend the list of available functions by defining your own format functions in a Library.
- Filter functions used to filter Text Blocks in Text Block Lists.
- Export functions and procedures can be used in Master Templates.
These functions and procedures cannot produce word processor instructions.
- Procedures that will be used as dynamic exit points.
The following restrictions apply when removing or renaming Libraries:
- Library functions cannot be renamed or removed after the Code Library has been unlocked.
- A Library cannot be renamed or removed if an object refers to one of the functions it contains.
For more information on how to create and edit a Library, see the section "Create and edit a Library" in KCM Designer Help.
