View and Edit Object Properties
You can view and edit the properties of standalone objects such as projects, data sets, connections, and data flows.
For example, you can check and modify the access permissions to specify the users who can change or read a data set, or see the source and target data sets for the data flow.
You can use the object inspector in the Home, Data, Catalog, and other top-level pages to view and edit the properties of an object. Based on the object’s level, the properties also provide references to other objects, such as lower level objects that are part of the object that you’re inspecting and other standalone objects that are referenced or used by that object. For example, a project property provides a list of data sets that are included in the project. The properties of lower level objects aren’t part of the top-level object’s inspector (such as data set properties), so they’re not displayed as part of a project’s properties. You can inspect the properties of the following objects:
- Projects
- Data Sets
- Connections
- Data Flows
- Sequences
- Schedules
- Folders
For example, perform the following steps to view or edit data flow properties in the inspector.
