Registering a Library

This section describes the Desktop library.

Libraries

A library is a location for storing folders and documents. Libraries are like office cabinets. Folders on computers and shared folders on a network, etc. are registered to libraries. Registering only the folders necessary for your work makes data management easier.
You can register up to 100 libraries.
* There are the Document Server Library and DM Data Library as the other types of libraries.
