Creating a library file is a matter of selecting the objects stored in the database that you want to include in the library file using the Export Library window. When an object is selected for exporting to a library file, dependent objects (excluding system-defined object types) will also be exported. For example, if a Global Find is exported, the form on which it is based and all related database fields except for system defined fields are also exported. The exception to this is with Custom Queries. When Custom Queries are exported to a library file, no dependent objects are automatically exported with it.
Any database object that is selectable in the Database Structure pane of the Export Library window can be exported. If a parent object is selected, all child objects will be selected for export as well. For example, if a Folder Type is selected for export, all Global Finds and Forms for the Folder Type will be selected for export as well, in addition to all document types that may exist under the folder type. Any system defined fields related to the forms will not be exported, but any custom defined fields will be.
In general, exporting database items to a library file consists of the following activities:
Add Items that you want to export from the Database Source Tree to the Library Destination Tree.
Details instructions are provided below.
This functionality depends on the Job Manager desktop client if your database is Job Manager only or any combination of Job Manager with other MetaCommunications applications excluding Virtual Ticket. If your database is a combined Job Manager and Virtual Ticket (plus any other MetaCommunications applications), Library Import and Export Functionality is accessed through the Virtual Ticket desktop client when logged in as the Administrator).
Note: The screen captures in the following procedures reflect folder types available in a combined Job Manager and Virtual Ticket system. The procedures described are still applicable for a Job Manager only system, though the available folder types will differ. Additionally, though the procedures described below reflect the Job Manager desktop client for Mac OS X, similar functionality exists for the Job Manager desktop client for Windows.
