Teaming Library
Welcome to the Novell Teaming Library. Our purpose is to create a library of sample forms and workflows that you can easily import, customize and deploy in your Teaming environment.
Custom Forms and Workflows in Novell Teaming are powerful tools that enable you to solve business problems, but creating them may seem a bit challenging. The Novell Teaming Library has already put you on an accelerated path by creating production-ready custom forms and workflows that you can download and easily import into your Teaming environment. We have several options to choose from, and many more are on the way!
Any feedback you would like to provide is greatly appreciated. Your contributions of any forms or workflows that you have created is also appreciated. Please submit your comments, contributions and suggestions to teaminglibrary@novell.com.
