This article will be explaining explains the exact relationships relationship between the Libraries and content, for regular libraries and cloned libraries So first, what Content for Standard Libraries and Cloned Libraries.
What is a project
...
Library?
A Project Library is a dedicated space for all Collections and consequently content Content that are part of these collections, that is to be . Each active Library and all it's Content is uploaded onto the Rumie App ( which can include through the Sync process. Note: this includes the Rumie Tablet ) or any Android device with the Rumie App installed. In
Who can create Libraries?
Any user with access to the Rumie Management Center, Project Managers can have multiple projects in which they have been provided with the ability to use the same existing library or the majority of the content of the library in some other project on the fly.
This would be a real benefit to the user since initially, they would have had to create a new library from scratch and add collection populated with content one by one, which is very time-consuming. Hence, to reduce the time constraint and allow users to create a new library from an already existing library with just one click, we added this new functionality called "Cloning" We have released this functionality with the release of version 3.8.0 +.
Cloning a project library . This includes Organization Administrators and Project Managers (Administrators with Manager access to specific Projects). Any user can elect to either create Project Libraries by adding Collections to them, or to clone an existing Library. Cloning a Library replicates all the Collections and Content from the parent Library to the newly created Library.
What is the benefit of Cloned Libraries?
Cloning a Project Library can be beneficial when wanting to create a new library Library which will have the same or similar content/ collection Content as an existing one. After a library Library has been cloned, it can be added under a new or existing project under the same organization that you are part of.It is important to note that once the library has been cloned, it will have a “Cloned” label which will differentiate it from the original library it was cloned from.To explain further, let's dig a little deep into what is the relationship of a library(regular library) and a cloned library in regards to the content they have.
Let's say we clone an existing library A in a newly created Project B. The regular Libray A is already existing in Project A. Both these projects (Project A and Project B)
Project A → Regular Library A
Project B → Libary A (Cloned)
Let's say, we add content to Libray A in Project A. This will not affect the Cloned library in project B. Thay are independent of each other. Similarly, if we add content to the cloned Library in project B it will not affect the already existing regular library A from which it was coned in Project A. They both are completely independent of each other. This is done so that there are no dependencies between libraries Also in a scenario when an old library is inactive in a project then a user can create a new one and clone it again to be used in different projects as per their use case
For example purposes, let us assume we have an existing Library: Math Intro in Project: Youth Resources.
We have created a new Project named Summer Camp. We wish to use the Math Intro content from the Youth Resources Project in the Summer Camp Project.
To accomplish this, we must create a Clone of the Library Math Intro in the Summer Camp Project.
Both these projects will now use the Collections and Content from the Math Intro Library.
Project Youth Resources → Regular Library Math Intro
Project Summer Camp → Cloned Library Math Intro
Can Cloned Libraries be changed after they have been created?
Cloned Libraries can then be changed by deleting individual Collections and Content items from them. There is no further difference between cloned Libraries and standard Libraries, and any changes to either the parent Library or the newly created cloned Library WILL NOT affect the other. What are the benefits of using Cloned Libraries?
Are there any differences between Cloned Libraries and Standard Libraries on the Rumie App?
There are no differences in how Libraries appear or function on the Rumie App, regardless of how they were created.
How do I use Libraries on the Rumie App?
What version of the Rumie App do I require for being able to use Libraries?
"Libraries" is a functionality that is available with the release of the Rumie App version 3.8.0 +.
