Properties dialog

Each object within the master database has properties. When you right-click the object and choose Properties from the context menu, this dialog is displayed.

The dialog can have one or more of the following pages:

• Object page

  General object properties

• Description page

  A description of the object. Editable for most objects. The description of checked in version controlled objects may be edited only by users with sufficient user permission privileges.

• Owners page

  The Owners page is included whenever you view the properties of a model group.

  The page lists users who are owners or branch owners of the model group.

  A database owner can choose to apply user permissions to a database, and appoint owners for model groups in the database. With permissions in force:

  • Full Owners have administrative rights over the model group and can carry out all operations on the model group.
  • Branch Owners have read-only access to parent objects in the model group, but may branch version-controlled parent objects and edit the branch created.
  • Other users can view only data in the model group.
  

  Note

  The properties dialog of a "child" model group will display only owners that have been specifically appointed to that group and will not display owners of parent groups. For example, if parent Model Group A with owner 'user1' has a sub Model Group B, 'user1' will only appear in the properties dialog for A although 'user1' will also have full edit powers over B.

• Simulation page

  This page is displayed whenever you ask for properties for a simulation. It shows the time the run was carried out by the user, and the status of the run.

• Layer List page

  This page is displayed only when you right-click a layer list and choose Properties from the context menu. It shows which layers are contained in the layer list, and which map component the layers work with.

• Hyperlinks page

  Details of any hyperlinks for the object.
