Customize the libraries by adding and changing entries and reorganizing them so you can use the libraries efficiently. The Phases, Tasks, Goals, People, and Obstacles Libraries include a single column of information, while the People Library provides additional columns. (See Manage the People Library.)

To edit a library:

1. Open the library by clicking the appropriate Library button.
2. To edit an entry, double-click it.
3. To add an entry to the library, press Insert or click the Add a row button . You can also select one or more items in the list, and then drag them to the library.
4. To delete an entry, select the entry and then press Delete or click the Delete a row button .
5. To move an item up or down, select the item and then click the Up Arrow or the Down Arrow button .
6. Click the OK button to save your changes and close the Library window.

Tips

• Widen the Library window to add a long entry.
• Libraries can serve as “Knowledge Libraries.”  By including typical company-specific terms in your Libraries, you create a quick reference for yourself and colleagues now and in the future. To do so, add a new line in the Library, enter the name of your company (or department) as a heading in capital letters, and then list your personal terms under the heading.
• If you use Project KickStart on more than one computer, such as at home and work, you can transport changes you make in your Libraries from one computer to another. The data in all the Libraries is stored in one file, pks5lib.xdat, so you can copy that file on one computer and paste it into the Project KickStart 5 folder on the other computer.
• Keeping Libraries small makes them easier to use. Project KickStart's Libraries are fairly rich out of the box. If some of the terms don’t apply to your type projects, delete them.
