How to create, use, and tailor a custom MADE library for data reuse.
STEP 1:
Ensure the Library tab is visible (likely located at the bottom-left corner of MADE).
If it is not visible, add it to your visible tabs by navigating to View::Open View::Library and select Library.

STEP 2:
Create and Add your library by navigating to Preferences menu::Library Management and select Create Library.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
STEP 3:
Select Browse to choose a file location to store the library database. Click Next.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
STEP 4:
TIP: Do not use the default “made” database name. Could be overwritten if used in another library within the same directory.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
STEP 5:
Your new library should now show in the Library Management list. Check the box for your new library to enable it. Select Apply and Close.
NOTE: You can make and enable multiple libraries. All will be listed here.
All libraries will show in the Library tab in MADE now.

STEP 6:
Get familiar with organizing your library:
Green icons are enabled; Gray are disabled libraries; Red are libraries which database has been deleted.
To create unique categories, right-click on the library and go to New::Category and input the folder category name

STEP 7:
Add model elements to your library:
Note: The following steps work in both the Project Explorer and the System Diagram canvas.

STEP 8:
Using the model elements saved in your library:
NOTE: The injected model element(s) will include all data associated with the element that was saved with it (e.g., failure rates, functions, flows, maintenance tasks, etc.)
NOTE: Changes made to the element(s) in the model do NOT affect the saved element(s) in the library. To update the saved element(s), repeat Step 7 with the new data.
