Properties
The Properties pane displays information of a file selected from the File Control (middle) pane. Initially, this includes a preview picture of the file contents and system generated data. You can add additional information as needed for finding/identifying your files. This information can be used as search criteria when running a query.
In addition to being part of the DieQuote Explorer, the Properties information can also be invoked from the menu bar (displays the properties for the main assembly) or from the Assembly Tree popup submenus (displays the properties for the selected component). Click Access at this top of this Help topic for additional information.
This Properties pane contains the following tabs:
