Working with MapInfo Manager Library Services
The Library Service lets you access the metadata records published in MapInfo Manager. You can
access Library Services by selecting Options > Preferences > Web Services > Library Services. For
enabling the Library Services, refer to
Setting the Library Services Preferences .
After setting the Library Services preferences to Catalogs and Library, the Table List window shows
the status of the tables and if they are managed or not by the MapInfo Manager library.
• If the table list shows against a particular table, it means the table is managed by the MapInfo
Manager.
• If the table list shows against a particular table, it means the table is not managed by the MapInfo
Manager.
• If the table list shows no icon against a particular table, it means that the table is not manageable,
such as a selection table, query table, or seamless table.
To manage a table you can use the following:
• Add to Library icon on the Main toolbar
• Add to Library from the Table menu.
Add to Library

1. From the Table menu, select Add to Library.
