Add child libraries to a product or library version

You add a child library to a product or library version in the Library Dependency Editor.

To add a library, the parent of the library to which you want to add a library must be opened as the focus library in the Library Dependency Editor.

To add a library:

  1. Identify the parent of the library that you want to change and open that parent as the focus library in the Library Dependency Editor.
  2. In the Library Dependency Editor, right-click the library to which you want to add a library and click Lock.
  3. Right-click the version and select Add Libraries.
  4. In the All Libraries pane, select the libraries.
    Use the filter at the bottom of the pane to filter the libraries in the list by library name.
    The libraries, releases, and versions are displayed in the Selected Products/Libraries, Releases, and Versions pane.
  5. In the Selected Products/Libraries, Releases, and Versions pane, select the library versions to add.
    Use the filter at the bottom of the pane to filter the libraries in the list by release name.
  6. Click OK.
    The library is added as a child of the focus library and the dependency graph is updated.
  7. Right-click in the Library Dependency Editor and click Release all.

    If errors are found in the result, they are displayed in the Release All Libraries dialog box. These errors must be resolved before the version can be released. To assist in resolving the errors, you can click the following:

    • Save: to save the list of errors in a tab-separated (TSV) file.
    • Locate: to open the list of errors in the Search Results view.
    • Copy: to copy the name and ID of the selected version.
    • Show In Graph: to display a dependency graph of the results.
  8. If no errors are discovered, the Validation Graph opens and displays all the changes that will occur once the version is released. Click Next.
  9. In the Release dialog box, add a comment describing the change and click OK.
