Go to a library

1. Open the MindBridge sidebar ( ).
2. Select Admin ( ) near the bottom of the sidebar.
3. Go to the Libraries tab.
   The libraries listed on this page are available for use by your organization.
4. Open the Actions menu in line with the library you want to see.
5. Select View Library.
   The library will open on the Library details tab.

Overview of library settings

Each analysis type has library settings that can be configured. When you update the library settings of one analysis type, it will impact all analyses of that type that are using the library.

For example, if you create a new revenue filter in the Accounts payable tab, any of your accounts payable analyses that use this library will have access to the new filter.

The following settings can be configured within the library:

• *Analysis configuration — Toggle features off and on in analysis results
• Presentation settings
  • *Ratios — Default and custom financial ratios available in analysis results dashboards
  • **Filters — Default and custom dashboard filters available in analysis results dashboards
  • **Populations — Determines custom populations of data available in analysis results dashboards
  • *Segments — Determines custom segments of data available in analysis results dashboards
• Risk settings
  • **Risk scores — Default and custom risk scores (and associated control points) to be run against the data
  • *Risk ranges — Unique configurations of low, medium, and high risk percent ranges, and how each unique range should be applied to risk scoring in the analysis results
  • *Custom control points — Create new control points based on your firm's methodology and organizational goals

* Accessible through the General ledger tab only.

** Accessible through the General ledger, Accounts payable, and Accounts receivable tabs.

Create a library

All newly created libraries acquire settings and permissions from one of two places:

• An existing library (referred to as a base library)
• A library configuration file (reach out to your CSM or Account Manager for details)

MindBridge offers default libraries that can be used as-is, or as a base library when creating new custom libraries. New libraries are configured and maintained by an App Admin in your tenant, and contain tailored analysis, risk, and presentation settings to suit specific industry, organizational, and reporting needs. Libraries created by your firm can be used across your whole tenant to help standardize your teams' workflows within MindBridge.

Note: App Admins may restrict how much control users have over control points via the risk scoring permissions in the Library details.

Edit a library

On the Library details tab, you can change the library name and update the default delimiter used in the data.
