# Pipeline Library
A pipeline is defined as a set of computational tools, which run either sequentially or parallelly to achieve a specific data analysis objective. Bioinformatics tools (and their respective commands) are designated as steps within a pipeline. Stanome provides a list of pre-configured pipelines evaluated against the model organisms in the Pipeline Library.
Click the  icon in the Utilities menu to access the Pipeline Library window (Fig. 1). The Pipeline Library window shows the list view of all the pre-configured pipelines.
The list view shows six fields:
- - - Name: Pipeline name
- Execution Flow: Sequential order of the tools used in the pipeline
- Hub: Name of the relevant Hub
- Category: The functional tag(s) associated with the pipeline
- Description: Functional details of each tool
- **Owner**: Owner of the pipeline
Details of a pipeline can be viewed by clicking on the pipeline name. In addition to the list view, the pipeline window (Fig. 2) provides additional details about steps and tools. Go to pipeline creation to know more. Click the  icon to go back to the Pipeline Library window. Users can’t delete pipelines from the Pipeline Library but can copy them into individual projects and customize them according to their needs.
