Viewing Object Details

Objects include reports, documents, folders, metrics, prompts, and more. The following information is displayed under or beside every object in the project folders:

Name: Name of the object.

Owner: The name of the user who created the object or another user who currently owns the object. For reports and documents, the owner is also listed on the Details screen. The owner usually defines the permissions for how the object can be used and by whom.

Modified: The date and time the object was last modified.

Description: A description of the object, if the owner of the object provided one.

Actions: The icons of the actions that can be performed on the objects. Metrics, prompts, and filters can only be edited. Action icons for reports and documents are used to edit, subscribe, send, export or view the selected report or document.

You can view additional object properties, such as a URL showing the object's location, using the following steps.

 

To view object properties:

  1. Right-click the object whose properties you want to view, and select Properties. The Properties dialog box is displayed.

You can view:

The object's name, type, location, and description

The object's unique ID

The date that the object was created

The date that the object was last modified

A URL that defines the object's location in the application.
