# Questions? We have answers. ## Summary **Libraries** contain unique configurations of permissions and settings and can be applied to any number of engagements. When your team [creates an engagement](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360055739694), MindBridge applies the library's configuration **as it exists at that point in time**\* to the new engagement. Creating custom libraries streamlines and standardizes your firm's engagements and analyses across MindBridge. Learn how to create a new library below. \* **Note:** Major changes to library settings (such as adjustments to [filters](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360058193293), [ratios](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360056329634), custom [risk scores](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360061668293), [control points](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/13641133350935), etc.) made after applying a library to an engagement will not be reflected in the given engagement — to use new settings, you must create a new engagement. Learn more about [what to expect when making changes to library settings](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/4685618640407-Library-settings-Library-details#01H8CKM3TVQDZFNPVYHR7C88SX), and how to [manage your libraries](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360056329614). **Note:** [Follow this workflow if creating a library for TRA](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/19758804945431). --- ## Go to the _Libraries_ tab 1. Select **Admin** ( ) near the bottom of the MindBridge [sidebar](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360056334994) on the left side of the screen. You will go to the _Admin_ settings. 2. Go to the **Libraries** tab. You will see a list of all libraries available in your tenant. **Note:** Only **App Admins** can access the _Libraries_ tab and create new libraries. --- ## Create a new library Libraries can be selected for use by anyone on your team when they create new engagements. 1. Select **Create library** in the top right of the _Libraries_ page. A form window appears. 2. Enter the **Library name**. 3. Select a **Base library** or **import a library configuration file**. All new libraries must be created based on an existing library. When you select a base library, its settings and permissions (as well as [analysis configurations](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/1500005592141), [ratios](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360056329634), [filters](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360058193293), [populations](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/13640243477015), [segments](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/13640494569111), [risk scores](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360061668293), [risk ranges](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/13640223743383), and [control points](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360057582953) — varied by [analysis type](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360058198913)) _at that point in time_ are copied over. Any future changes made to the base library will not be reflected in the new library. 4. The **Analysis types** that the library can use are populated automatically, but you can add and remove analysis types as needed. 5. Select the **Account grouping** structure that the library will use. 6. Optionally, enter a **Default delimiter** if the datasets you expect to import contain a custom delimiter (for example, -\|- ), otherwise, MindBridge will detect the default delimiter used in the imported dataset. [Learn about delimiters](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/4784872400535). 7. Select how risk scores should be displayed within MindBridge: - As **percentages** (default option), or - With **High**, **Medium**, and **Low** risk labels **Note:** If you want to use labels, graphs that use percentage-based scores will have alternate displays. If you want to use percentages, some graphs will continue to display labels. 8. Use the checkboxes to determine the level of control your team should have over the control point parameters within each risk score. **Note:** Users have full control over risk scoring permissions by default. - **Control point selection**: When selected, allows your team to add and remove control points within each risk score in the engagement settings. Learn how to add and remove control points from [risk scores in the library](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360061668293) and the [engagement settings](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/1500001381622). - **Control point weight**: When selected, allows your team to adjust the weight of control points within each risk score in the engagement settings. [Learn about control point weights](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360055739854). - **Control point settings**: When selected, allows your team to adjust the individual control point settings (such as [adding and removing keywords](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/4412723037207), [setting a material value](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360056059994-Material-Value-Control-point#01FS4VDN0RB9G7BKVANE32B8DM), etc.) within a risk score in the engagement settings. - **Risk score and group settings**: When selected, allows your team to disable risk scores and risk groups in an engagement. - **Risk range settings:** When selected, allows your team to configure and adjust the risk range thresholds (low, medium, high) within each risk score in the engagement settings. 9. Select **Create library**. You will return to the _Libraries_ tab in the _Admin_ settings, where the new library will be listed. Select **Cancel** at any time to discard the new library and go back to the _Libraries_ tab. \* **Tip:** If you are using a base library with a different account grouping, the checkbox to " _Convert library settings for use with new account grouping_" controls whether ratios, filters, and populations that reference the account grouping will be brought over. **Note:** If you deselect the boxes that allow **control point selection** and adjustment of **control point weight**, your teams will not be able to import risk scores when [rolling forward](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360061700433) or [duplicating analyses](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360058013433-The-Data-page-Overview-GL-AP-AR#h_01HGBYMNWY0Y8AKDFQNHA2KWB0), or when [creating new engagements](https://support.mindbridge.ai/hc/en-us/articles/360055739694). --- Anything else on your mind?
