Library Connections

Each Library Item may have one or more ‘connections’ associated with it. A Library Connection is a ‘link’ between a Library Item and a data record. Connection Types include:

1. Asset (where a library item is linked to a specific asset or assets)
2. Asset Type (where a library item is linked to an asset type)
3. Event (where a library item is linked to a discrete event)
4. Event Type (where a library item is linked to an event definition)
5. Workpack (where a library item is linked to a specific workpack or workpacks)
6. Anomaly (where a library item is linked to an anomaly)
7. Risk Model (where a library item is linked to an Risk Model)
8. Function (where a library item is linked to a function)

The Library Connections toolbar button allows the user to add, edit and delete Library Connections of the currently selected library item.
