Library Resources

Whilst having a discussion through the Library window, it is convenient to link to the resources that are the subject of discussion or that illustrate points in the discussion. Such resources include:

  • XMI files of Packages within the current project
  • Active Profiler reports
  • Images of currently-active diagrams
  • Images currently captured on the clipboard
  • Bookmarks to currently active websites

You can link to such resources from Category or Topic notes, or from a Document. The resource links are created in a Resources folder underneath the selected Category, Topic or Document, as shown:
