Properties View

The Properties View provides editing capabilities for the currently selecteded object in Designer. The selection provided by whichever view or editor is currently in focus will determine the its contents.

To edit a property, click a cell in the Value column. As in the Table Editor, each cell provides a UI editor specific to the property type. See Editing Table Properties for a detailed summary.

If the model for the object being edited is not open in an editor, a dialog may appear confirming the attempt to modify the model and asking the uer to confirm or cancel. This dialog can be prevented by checking the preference "Always open editor without prompting".

Properties can also be edited via a right-click menu presented below.

The Properties View toolbar contains the following actions:

- Show Categories- toggles between categoried properties and flat alphabetical properties list.
- Show Advanced Properties - shows/hide advanced properties (if available)
- Restore Default Value - for a selected property, this action will reset the current to a default value (if available)
