3.7.1 Editing Attributes of a Single Document

Choosing the Properties item in the context-sensitive menu allows you to add, remove and modify the attributes of an object. Note that may not edit the attributes of documents if you do not have write rights to the object, or if you are not an identified user, or if the document is version-controlled and checked in.

The properties (attributes) of an object are edited as follows:

  1. Click on the object whose properties you wish to change with your right mouse button. A context-sensitive menu appears.
  2. Select Properties from the menu. The dialog box in Figure 19 appears. This dialog box lists all the attributes for the object. You may modify attributes whose values have a white background. Attributes shown in gray cannot be modified.
  3. To add a new attribute, select the attribute type from the listbox at the bottom of the dialog box, or enter an attribute type manually here.
  4. Click on the Add button. The attribute you have chosen will appear as a new pair of cells in the dialog box (you may have to scroll down to see it).
  5. Add the required value for the attribute.
Note that if the attribute you are adding is a Rights attribute, a button labeled Rights Wizard will appear. You can use the Rights Wizard to help you set access rights for different users. The Rights Wizard for Java Virtual Folders is explained on page 27.
  1. Click on the Apply button to apply the changes.
  2. To delete an attribute, select the attribute by clicking on it (a blue line will appear around it) and then click on the Delete button. The attribute will disappear from the listing.
  3. Click on the Apply button to apply the changes.
  4. Click on the OK button to exit the dialog box.
