Common documents are to be stored in the document library to avoid multiple creations of a document to be attached to several elements.

From the list of linked documents, you can:

• Add a document coming from the library. In this way you do not create a duplicate if the document already exists.
• Add the document you have just created to the library so that other CARL Source users can use it.

Adding a document coming from the library

1. On the list of linked documents, go to the add icon and select [Add a document from the library]
   → The list of documents in the library is opened.

2. Select the document to be added to the list.
   → The application closes the library and adds the selected document to the list. It cannot be changed on this list; it can be changed from the library if you have sufficient rights; see Library.

Adding a document to the library

The list of documents linked to an element contains a linked document that you feel can be used for other elements. For example, a warranty that covers several Assets.

1. Select the element,

2. At the bottom of the screen, click on the "Add to library" button.
   → The application adds the document to the library. It can no longer be changed on this list; it can be changed from the library, with sufficient rights. It will only be saved once, even if it is linked to several elements.
