In the metadata section, you can also view how often the element has been used in your company. The count increases each time an element is inserted or opened by a user.

Via the navigation bar, you can access all actions for the folder or element that you have currently selected.

These actions can also be accessed via the context menu of each folder or element.

Note

Depending on the application in which you open the empower® Library, the displayed metadata may vary.

Depending on the configuration of your empower® Environment, users who have left the company may be displayed anonymized in the metadata display.

Note

If there are two command buttons displayed in the empower® Library, a double-click will always execute the left button command (Figure 30, “Two Command Buttons in Library”).
