Chapter 2 Using Libraries 33
To create a library using the Bento templates:
1 Choose File > New Library from Template.
2 In the New Library dialog, select a template category in the left column, then
select the template.
Select “Blank” if none of the templates meet your needs. You can create all of the
fields yourself with the Blank library.
3 Enter a name for your library, and click Choose.
Bento creates the library and opens it in form view.
If you selected a template other than the Blank template, review the fields that are
defined for your new library.
• If you are happy with the fields and form views in your new library, then
you’re ready to add records and enter information. See
”Editing Records in
Form View” on page 56.
• If you need additional fields, you can customize the library by adding fields.
See
”Adding Fields to a Form” on page 59.
• If there are fields defined for information that you do not need, delete those
fields. See
”Removing Fields from a Form” on page 60.
