# Selecting Gateway Libraries in Local or Remote Workstations

To make a Gateway library in a local or remote workstation accessible, select it in the network menu. You can make local or remote gateway libraries available for the current work session only, or each time you load the application.

You can also use selection sets. See Using Selection Sets.

To select a Gateway library in a local or remote workstation:

1. Display the Network Library menu.
2. Click Refresh.

   All accessible workstations are searched for Gateway libraries.

3. Expand workstations as needed to see the Gateway libraries; there is one Gateway library per workstation.

   Each workstation displays both Framestore and Gateway entries.

4. Expand the Gateway library to display the directory structure of the selected workstation.
5. Select the directories you want to access. The procedure for selecting entries is the same as for clip libraries. See Selecting Entries.

   Selected entries are light grey.

6. Optional: To automatically reconnect to a directory in a Gateway library when you restart the application, click the grey box to the left of the entry.

   The letters AC appear in the box, indicating the entry is set to be reconnected. All subentries are also set. When you restart the application and load the project, the specified entries are connected and the associated Gateway library directory is available in the Clip Library box.

   NoteA green AC indicates that the entry and all subentries are set for auto-connection; a yellow AC indicates that some, but not all subentries, are set for auto-connection.
7. Optional: To stop automatically reconnecting to the directory associated with an entry, click the grey box next to the entry again. To disconnect all entries set for auto-connection, click Reset Auto Connect.

   The AC indicator disappears.

8. Exit the Network Library menu.

   All the Gateway libraries you selected in the Network menu are listed in the Clip Library box. All clip libraries set for auto-connection will be available when you restart the application.

NoteTo disable auto-connect from outside the application, see Disabling Auto-Connect from Outside the Application.
