Property pages

Every object in the Data Pr otector Express catalog has a set of property pages associated w ith it. Use

these property pages to modify settings for an object and to view logs, messages, diagnostics or

information that Data P rotector Express generates.

Opening property pages

Displaying the property page of an object can be accomplished several ways:

• Selecttheobjectwiththemouseorkeyboard,andthenclickProperties on the Command task

pane.

• Right-click the object to display a context menu, then select Properties.

• Select the object, and then select Properties fr om the File menu.

• With the object selected, type Alt-Enter.

TIP:

Opening the property page for an object will open a non-modal dialog. You can leave property pages

open when you return to working in the main Data Pr otector Express window and you can have several

property pages open at once.

The Property window consists of a...

1. Navigation bar — The navigation ba r is located in the top section of the left hand column of

window. It contains links to the various groups of properties of the object.

2. Info bar — the info bar contains a summary of the object’s most important properties like current

status. It also contains com m a nd and control links for runnable jobs.

3. Property pane — the property pane contains the actual properties that belong to the property

group selected by the navigation bar.

4. Command bar — the command bar runs along the bottom of the dialog and contains the

buttons for committing or cancelling changes made to the object and for dismissing the dialog.
