My Library is a place in Hornbill where you can upload documents that you can then share and collaborate on with others. It is part of Document Manager. Everyone has their own "My Library", and it contains

  • Documents you have uploaded (which automatically makes you their owner)
  • Documents others have shared with you

Any standard (non-executable) document type can be uploaded.

You can change the status of a document from the default (Draft) to Active. this allows you to Publish that document to other libraries, for others to view. (You need to be a Document Manager to create libraries.) When a document is no longer needed, you can Retire it.

It can used by Co-workers when Document Manager is installed and can be launched from the book My Library on the navigation bar. Some other features are:-

  • Documents can be assigned Tags to help people to find them easily
  • Each document will have an activity stream where Co-workers can post updates and add comments
  • You can search for the document using the search box
