Open Workbench Library

An Open Workbench library is a .rwl library file that stores view library data, including the names of library groups that categorize views, sorts, and filters. The library stores all of the Open Workbench's predefined views, highlights, filters, and sorts, as well as those that you create in the library groups. Libraries also store the paths to and names of views, sorts, and filters that appear in the library groups.

You can use the library to:

• Edit the properties and display attributes of existing views.
• Add new library groups and views.
• Create and edit filters and sorts.
• Apply filters and sorts to any view.

Use the Libraries dialog to create library groups and to view the folder layout of the library. The following library groups are available by default:

• Favorites. Contains the Gantt Chart, CPM Network, and Phase Level Gantt standard views.
• Planning. Contains the WBS Definition, Dependency Definition, and Resource Assignment standard views.
• Executing. Contains the Schedule and Dependency Status standard views.
• Controlling. Contains the Status Update, Unused Availability, Variance Analysis, Revise Schedule standard views.
• Filters & Sorts. Contains the Clear Filters, Clear Sorts, Key Tasks, Sort by Resource, and Pending ETC standard views.
