Managing Libraries

All wizards and sensors are housed on the Nintex RPAServer in the wizard and sensor catalogs, respectively. Libraries are the top level in the catalog’s hierarchy. Each library:

  • Contains categories and subcategories, which, in turn, contain automations.

  • Is associated with its own set of defined applications for which automations can be recorded.

By default, the wizard and sensor catalogs share an identical library structure

  • Libraries are created and associated with their supported applications in Nintex Admin Tool.

The wizard and sensor catalogs have varying structure from the category level down

  • Categories and subcategories are created in Nintex Studio.

    For details, see the Nintex Studio User Guide (Categories).

To create a library:

  1. In the Menu Pane, click either the Wizard Catalog or the Sensor Catalog.

  2. From the toolbar, click the New Library button.

  3. A library called New Library is created in the Entities Pane.

    The new library is automatically selected, and its properties appear in the Properties Pane, with the General tab active.

  4. Enter a name for the library in the Name field.

  5. In the Supported Applications field, check the boxes of all applications that are used by that library's automations.

  6. Click the button

When you create the first library in your catalog, you have to link it to a company.

When upgrading from version 20.9 and earlier, you should link your libraries to the company.

To delete a library:

  1. In the Menu Pane, click Wizard Catalog or Sensor Catalog.

  2. In the Entities Pane, select the library you want to delete.

  3. From the toolbar, click the button.

  4. In the confirmation message, click Yes.

When you delete a library:

  • It is deleted both from the wizard catalog and the sensor catalog.

    • Why? Remember that, by default, the wizard and sensor catalogs share an identical library structure.

  • All categories, wizards, and sensors within the library are also deleted.
