1. What is the Library?
The Library is the central archive of all content you can use in surveys. It contains scientifically validated instruments, reusable question blocks, and templates. You’ll find the Library in the left-hand navigation panel. The content is structured according to a clear hierarchy:Part of the content is Wenite-managed and scientifically validated. This content is locked and cannot be edited. In addition, you can create and manage your own client-specific content.
“Instrument” is used in two different senses in the Library: a scientifically validated source instrument (bibliographic/scientific-origin metadata linked to a module or question) is a different thing from building your own instrument via the Building an Instrument guide (which really means “build your own custom content set”). Keep the two apart when reading the rest of this guide.
2. Browsing the Library
The Library page itself has four tabs:
Each tab shows a table with the relevant columns and row-level actions.
Dimensions, Answer sets, and Templates don’t have their own tabs here. Dimensions are chosen inline while creating or editing a module or KPI, not managed as a standalone list. Answer sets are chosen as an “answer templates” option while creating a question — see the Questions, Modules & KPIs guide. Templates are managed on their own, separate page — see the Templates guide.
