Properties differ by category. The Planning category displays properties specific to Planning.

Both global and relationship properties can be edited for all instances of a member. See Modifying Properties. Properties, valid property values, and default values are defined in the following chapters:

Property values are in the following forms:

  • String and Memo—Enter text.

  • Integer—Enter a number.

  • Boolean—Select True or deselect for False.

  • Member—Click Ellipsis Button and select a member.

  • Drop-down list—Select an item.
