### Working with Properties

Clicking the Properties icon from the toolbar displays the Page Properties dialog box. This contains the following tabs that allow you to configure different elements of the current report page.

Details Tab

NEEDS DOCUMENTATION. NOT SURE HOW MUCH DETAIL IS NEEDED FOR INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES.

Info Tab

WHAT IS THIS INFO FOR? IT APPEARS EDITABLE, BUT DON'T SEE WHERE THIS INFORMATION APPEARS ON THE REPORT'S PAGE ANYWHERE? IS IT EVER VISIBLE?

Page File: This field lists the pathway to the report's XML file.

Author: IS THIS THE AUTHOR OF THE PAGE? THE ENTIRE REPORT?

Date: WHAT IS THIS FOR? IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT DATE.

Machine: WHAT IS THIS FOR? IS IT THE MEASURING MACHINE USED OR SOMETHING ELSE?

Version: VERSION OF WHAT? THE REPORT? THE PAGE?

Description: DESCRIPTION FOR THE PAGE?

File Tab

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS TAB?

File Area: WHAT DOES THE BLACK TRIANGLE DO. IT MAKES THE FILE FIELD EDITABLE. WHY?

Size Area: IS THIS THE SIZE OF THE PAGE? THIS SHOULD PROBABLY BE GRAYED OUT IF NOT EDITABLE RIGHT?

Attributes Area: WHAT DO THESE ATTRIBUTES DO? READ-ONLY MAKES SOMETHING SO IT CANNOT BE CHANGED. HIDDEN HIDES SOMETHING. BUT WHAT IS BEING HIDDEN OR PROTECTED? WHAT IS ARCHIVE? WHAT IS COMPRESSED?

Time Stamps: THIS IS READ ONLY INFO RIGHT? THIS SHOULD PROBABLY BE GRAYED OUT IF NOT EDITABLE.

Format Options Tab

THIS INCLUDES THE SAME INFORMATION IN SAVING REPORT PAGES ABOVE.

THERE'S ALSO A FORMAT TAB IN THE SETTINGS DIALOG. HOW DOES THAT DIFFER FROM THIS?

Draw Context

THIS INCLUDES THE SAME INFORMATION IN DRAW CONTEXT IN DEFINING PROPERTIES ABOVE. HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM WHAT'S HERE?
