Learn more about setting up a library
Libraries help to get started with content creation and publication. They provide a quick access to all projects and contents within them. Libraries can help organize the content for easy retrieval by authors, reviewers, and developers. Managers have the highest level of access and are responsible for setting up the libraries and customizing them to fit the needs of the authors, reviewers, and developers. Managers are also responsible for assigning the different roles to users who can then access and work with the library based on their roles. The following topic provides more information about assigning roles, setting up a library and managing libraries.
Setting up a library
To set up a library begin by renaming an existing default library that is provided to you in the IBM® Mobile Application Content Manager home page. Then, customize the library to fit your needs. To rename and customize your library, complete the following actions:- Renaming a library
- As a manager, you need to rename a default library that is provided in the IBM Mobile
Application Content Manager home page to create a library that meets your needs.
To rename a library, click the Edit Library Settings icon
from the library card. Enter a library name and description and click
Save. The library name displays on the front of the card on the home page,
and the description displays on the flip-side of the card. - Managing libraries
- You can customize and manage your libraries from library management. After you enter the
library, click the Library Management icon
in the taskbar and select from the following options.- Content Templates
- From the Content Templates tab, you can add templates to ensure that your team can access appropriate templates for content items. You can also open an existing template to add or delete a field, or rename the template. Content authors use templates to create content.
- Categories
- From the Categories tab you can rename, delete, or add a category. Categories are used to classify content. Developers in the manager role reference categories in JSON code to retrieve content to mobile devices.
- Notification Services
- From the Notification Services tab, you can configure notification settings to alert customers about new content. After configuration, the push notification is automatically processed when a project is published by the reviewer or the manager.
