Hi.
Footprints are to be done and saved, this You do in the same "window" as creating the boards. But before of this You have to create padstacks for the footprints.

One very need thing to have in mind is the directory struckture, in failure here You are lost very fast.

But Allegro when installed has some few videos, getting You started, try them and if needed return.

Directory struckture could be:

Library - allegro15.5.1
| |- Comps
| |_ Pads
|
|- Projects
| |- Allegro
| |- DOCs
| |- netlist
| |- tmp

Where Comps are Your footprints, Pads Your padstacks, DOCs file documentasion gerbers and such, Allegro is project main folder.

Agian Always do pads first, then footrint (in PCB editor), then the board.
