Creating a library in an object store

Libraries are the starting points for collaboration in IBM FileNet Collaboration Services and they contain documents and folders.

A library is a teamspace. You can create a library in one of two ways:
  • If you use IBM Connections, a library is automatically created when you add a library widget to a community. You do not need to create a library manually before using IBM FileNet Collaboration Services.
  • If you use IBM Content Navigator to create a teamspace and then use the IBM Connections linked library feature to add the library to an IBM Connections community.

Regardless of the application that you use to create the library, the structure of the library is the same. In addition, starting with IBM Content Navigator, Version 2.0.3, each new community library is created in a folder hierarchy that is based on the current year and month. This prevents a single folder from being overpopulated with libraries.
