Edit Properties

Use the Edit Properties dialog to set the properties associated with the selected asset. These include defining the asset's general settings, availability, and attributes. While general settings and availability properties are common across assets, attributes vary from asset to asset. You can set asset availability only for shared assets, not for portal assets. More
