The Project Library is a warehouse of processes and projects that you copy from Quality process workflows and store in the Library. You select either an entire Quality project or a subset of output entities and processes within a process workflow and copy them to the Library to create a reusable template called a library project.
Using the Project Library allows you to:
- Reuse Quality processes to help ensure consistency and data quality compliance across organizations and systems.
- Create customized templates that contain entire projects or specific processes, allowing for greater control of how processes are used and maintained across teams and repositories.
- Use the Library to store country project flows. Then copy a country flow to a Quality project, allowing you to add additional countries to an existing flow. Before you run the project, adjust the Global Data Router for the new countries.
- Build a centralized collection of best practice processes that define the data governance initiatives of your company.
- Export library projects to be used across multiple repositories and as a method of version control.
- Import library projects created in and exported from a Project Library.
Guidelines
Note the following when working with the Project Library:
- When you add a project to the Library, it contains processes and output entities. Input data and input settings for the first process are included for processes that accept only one input (for example, Customer Data Parser). When you reuse the library project in an existing Quality project workflow, you connect it to new input data in the project and, if necessary, recreate or reassign input filters and file update match keys as needed.
- After a project is added to the Project Library, the settings of the process(es) contained in the project are read only: viewable but not editable.
