File properties that can be viewed in the file manager (Defense Mapping)

From the file manager, several properties can be seen for each file that is stored in the product library. These properties are in addition to those available using the details view in the file manager. They include the name and title for a file, any links associated with them, and version information. The four property panes are General, Summary, Links, and History.

The properties in the General and Summary panes can be viewed using the details view in the file manager, but those from the other panes cannot. The Related Items list in the Links pane contains the product library parts to which a file is linked. The History pane provides information about different versions of a single file.

General

The properties on the General pane provide basic information about the file, such as the following:
