Repository Object Properties Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to view properties of a repository object. The name of the current object determines the name of the dialog box. For example, if the object name is TblCustomer, the dialog box name is TblCustomer Properties.

If you are running Meta Data Browser as a stand-alone snap-in, and you are running in either Power User or Administrator browse mode, you can edit property values.

This dialog box appears when you right-click an object in the Contents folder or in the Information Models folder, and then click Properties.
