In the criteria library, criteria templates can be saved for use in both procurement and suitability requirements. You can select these criteria groups for any request for quotation. Criteria groups can be searched with search words.

## Criteria library management

In the management of the criteria library, you can edit and add criteria groups and the criteria that belong to them. The distribution of criteria groups to other procurement organizations also takes place from the same place.
