Library elements are single artifacts or trees of artifacts that you can reuse in
multiple projects.

Each library element has a single root artifact. All child artifacts of that artifact are
included in the library element. The following image shows a library element based on the Improve
Customer Service Quality critical success factor. The two measurement artifacts that are its
children are included automatically in the library element.

You can drag a library element into a KPI Tree from the Library Elements
menu on the Analysis tab of any project.

* **[Create a library element](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/0IUUPnY6C9K~IRIepw_p8g)**   
  Convert an artifact and its children in a KPI tree into a KPI Composer cross-project library element.
* **[Use a library element](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ZwsYD6NWt4_mQ39tbbfFZg)**   
  Add a library element to a KPI tree in any KPI Composer project.
* **[Edit or delete a library element](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/FeUxfOWvpycqLeVrgBMI5A#edit-library-element)**   
  You can add artifacts to a library element, or convert a library element back to project-based artifacts. You can also edit the data definitions of artifacts in a library element.
