# Use a library element

Add a library element to a KPI tree in any KPI Composer project.

## Before you begin

You must have at least one library element you can use.

**Important:**

This application is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer available for activation but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support knowledge base.

Role required: sn\_kpi\_composer.user \(own project\), sn\_kpi\_composer.admin \(any project\), admin. No role required for responsible user or user with edit access from project sharing.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Application** > **Module**.

2.  Select the bookmark icon to open the **Library Elements** list.

3.  Drag an appropriate library element into your KPI tree.

    The tile for a library element lists the number and type of artifacts included in the element. The following image shows the tile for a library element with one critical success factor and two measurements.

4.  To remove a library element from a KPI tree, delete the root artifact.

    You do not have the delete option from any other artifacts in the library element.


## What to do next

You can add as many library elements as you want to a KPI tree. You can add the same library element as many times as you want.
