Edits the properties of a selected object. If you select multiple objects, you can edit only the properties shared by the group.

You can edit the properties of a selected object from any task. The occurrence and definition properties of these objects are defined in the Catalog database and the specific values of these properties, such as relationships, are stored in the Model database. The Properties dialog box for each object type can be different, but most dialog boxes have the following in common:

  • Grids with controls

  • An OK, Cancel, and Apply button

  • Notes, Relationship, and Configuration tabs

The grid controls typically display catalog-defined properties for the selected object. Most information in the grids is read-only, but you can modify information in the grid on the Occurrence tabs. While the Properties dialog box is open, you can select other objects in the workspace. When you select another object, the edit ribbon for that object appears, and the content of the Properties dialog box shows the values of the new selection.

Selecting Multiple Objects of the Same Type

When you select multiple objects of the same type, the Properties dialog box appearance does not change. If the objects all have the same value, the Value column displays the value of the property. If one or more properties are different, the Value column is blank.

Selecting Multiple Objects of Different Types

When you select multiple objects of different types, the Properties dialog box displays only those tabs that these objects have in common. You can only edit the properties associated with these tabs.

Transferring Ownership

In a global workshare configuration, you can re-assign ownership of model objects from their current permission group to another satellite or host permission group using the Transfer button on the Configuration tab.

The following rules exist for this functionality:

  • Only the location that currently owns the object can transfer its ownership of the object to another location. A location that does not have ownership of an object cannot directly take ownership of an object from another location.

  • To transfer ownership from one location to another, you must have physical write permission on the current permission group and virtual write permission on the target permission group. Virtual permission means that if location were not a factor, you would have write access to that permission group. The host location must set up permissions for each of the satellite locations ahead of time.
