The Library is designed to be used as part of your primary workspace in Toad for IBM DB2. The Library allows you to organize and view your files by categories and groups that you create. Create topics to group files. Add keyword tags to individual files to further categorize them.
Files are added to the Library but remain in their original locations. The file path for each file is displayed in the Library grid. You can create and use as many topics and keyword tags as you need. As the number of files in your Library grows, use filter, group, and search features to easily find the files you need.
You can apply tags and a topic to several files simultaneously when you add multiple files to the Library from the same directory.

To add a file to the Library
After you click Open, the Add Files to Library dialog opens. Use this dialog to add tags and apply a topic to the file or files. If you are adding multiple files, the topic and the tags are added to all files.
Tags |
Click Add Tag to add a tag. Then enter a new tag or click the drop-down arrow to select an existing tag. Press the Tab key to add additional tags. Tip: Toad automatically creates a tag using the folder name. Before adding a large number of files to the Library, you might organize them into folders with relevant names. |

To clear the filter, right-click the column header and select Clear Filter.
Tip: Use the Auto Filter Row (right-click grid header and select Show Auto Filter Row) to quickly create the framework for your filter. Then refine it in the Filter Editor.
To show/hide columns
When you attempt to open a file in the Library that was moved from its original location or renamed, Toad alerts you. Toad informs you that the file is missing and gives you the option to either specify a new location or remove the file from the Library.
The search.index file contains the information used in the Library, such as a file's location and tags. This file is located in your Application Data directory.
