Library
The wheel only needs to be invented once: easy reuse of your fields for forms and metadata sets
Are you creating a new metadata set, snag or form? Then you are also automatically building your field library. Every metadata field and question in a form is listed. This allows you to reuse them endlessly in other sets and forms. Do you want to adjust something in a field, such as adding an extra option to a multiple choice question? Then all forms and metadata sets in which this question appears are also updated immediately. How convenient.
The benefits of the library
Build forms and metadata sets faster
With your library of previously created metadata fields or form fields, building a new set or form is as simple as dragging the fields into place. This makes creating a new metadata set or form a breeze.
Quickly edit all fields
Made a typo, or want to add an extra answer option? Then you only have to adjust the field. Then all metadata sets, forms and snags where this field is used will be updated, so you only have to make the adjustment once. Very convenient.
Only what you need
You only create fields that you need, in the way that you like to organize them. You then use them organization-wide or use them only for a specific project. This way you fill the library with exactly the fields that you need.
Consistent data collection
To analyze data well, it is useful to always receive it in the same way. By always using fields from your library, you query data in the same way, which gives you the same answers. This way you can create reports very quickly and make decisions based on the data.

Frequently asked questions about the library
What exactly are the libraries in Prostream?
The library in Prostream consists of the various metadata fields and questions for forms and snags that you have previously created. You can reuse these infinitely, allowing you to build metadata sets, forms and snags faster.
How do I create a new library?
You work on the content of your library with every new field you create. Read all about it in our knowledge base.
