Create your first Document Management Library

Libraries are document containers. A library is associated with a single storage account that owns all the documents of your library. Each library has its own specific configuration.

Important: Only the library creators can create a new library. This roles is defined and managed at the domain level by the by AODocs super administrators. Learn more here: Manage Library Creators.

To create your first Document Management library, three options are available:

• Create your Document Management library from scratch
  You can create a blank library without any pre-existing configuration.

  Tip: If you are familiar with AODocs Libraries and you have a clear idea of your library configuration, you can create a new Document Management library and configure it from scratch. 
  
  
• Create a library from a template
  Several templates of Document Management libraries preexists in the AODocs interface. Each of these template describe a specific use case and is preconfigured.

  Tips: If your business need corresponds to one of the template libraries, you can create a new Document Management library with the configuration of the template library.
  If you haven't figured out how you want to design your library, template libraries are a good way to test AODocs for a specific use case.
  
  
• Copy an existing Document Management library
  If you are already familiar with AODocs and you have a panel of libraries in your domain, you can create a new Document Management library with the configuration of one of your existing libraries. Only the configuration of the source library will be copied, documents and permissions will not.

  Tips: Create a library by copy can be useful for seasonal libraries that needs to be replicated recurrently: "Finance Audit 2015", "Finance Audit 2016", "Finance Audit 2017", ...
  You can also create libraries with the same configuration to manage different projects, transform a test library into a production library, ..
