Description of the illustration catalog04.jpg

This image shows the Properties dialog which you use to change settings for catalog objects.

In the General area you can view and modify general information about the object. You can view the object's name, type (such as action or analysis), and location in the catalog. You can also enter a description for the object.

In the Access area you can learn the following information about an object:

The date and time when it was created.
The date and time when it was last modified.
The date and time when it was last accessed.

In the Attributes area you can set the following attributes of the object:

Hidden: Specifies that the object is hidden.
System: Specifies that the object is a system object.
Read Only: Specifies that the object is read-only
Do Not Index: Specifies that the object is excluded from the crawl that indexes the catalog for the full-text catalog search. If you select to exclude the object, then it does not display in the results of any full-text catalog search. The object, however, can still be found using the basic catalog search.

Note that a newly created object that is included in the index cannot be located during a full-text catalog search until a crawl of the catalog has occurred.

The Custom Properties area is read-only and contains system-generated information for troubleshooting object and catalog problems.

In the Ownership area you can take ownership of the object. This area displays only if the proper privileges were assigned to the user, group, or role. Note that the owner of an object or folder cannot automatically access the object or folder. To access an object or folder, the user must have the proper permissions assigned in the object or folder's Permissions dialog.

Set Ownership of this item: Click to become the owner of the item.
Set Ownership of this item and all subitems: Click to become the owner of the item and any subfolders or subitems contained within the item. For example, if you click this link for a scorecard, then you take ownership of all of the scorecard's components.
