A library family is a reusable recipe for a product family: one parent product, the children that go with it, and how many of each make one complete family. A vanity with its basin, tap and mirror, or a sofa with its cushions, is set up once and then added to any room in one step.

Open Library, choose Products, then Families. Each card shows the parent, the number of children, the catalog cost, and how many projects use it. Choose View family to open it, or Add family to put it in a project.

What you see here

• Products: the parent and each child, in their saved order, with the quantity per family.
• Catalog cost: the current Library cost of one complete family. Switch between Combined and By product. This is the Library cost, not a project price.
• Used in projects: the projects that have used this family. Choose one to open it.
• Actions: Add to project, Edit configuration, Save as new and Archive.
• The Version badge goes up each time the configuration is saved.

Family configurations (regular vs. supplemental, shared vs. internal)

Each child has two settings that carry into every project the family is added to.

• Regular or supplemental. A regular product can also be added to a project on its own. A supplemental product, such as a fixing kit, only makes sense inside its family, so it can only be added as part of one. The Library's Supplemental filter lists these products.
• Shared with client or internal only. Shared children show in the client portal with the family. Internal children stay visible to your team only.

In the Library, the Families filter (All products, Families, Supplemental) switches between ordinary products and saved families. In the Families view you can search, filter by Vendor and Project, and sort by Most used, Recently updated, Name or Catalog cost.
