Properties dialog

This dialog box is displayed when you select an object in the "Catalog page" and click Properties in the Tasks pane or click More, then Properties below the object.

For more information, see:

• "Who Owns an Object?"

• "Assigning Ownership of Objects"

• "Taking Ownership of Objects"

Components

General

Use this area to view and modify general information about the object. You can view the object's name, type (such as action or analysis), and location in the catalog. You can also enter a description for the object.

Access

Use this area to learn the following information about an object:

• The date and time when it was created.

• The date and time when it was last modified.

• The date and time when it was last accessed.

Attributes

Use the options in this area to set the following attributes of the object:

• Hidden — Specifies that the object is hidden.

• System — Specifies that the object is a system object.

• Read Only — Specifies that the object is read-only.

• Do Not Index — Specifies that the object should not be included in the index that is used by the full-text catalog search. The full-text catalog search is available if the administrator configured Oracle BI Enterprise Edition to use Oracle Secure Enterprise Search or Oracle Endeca Server. If you select to exclude the object, then it does not display in the results of any full-text catalog search. The object, however, can still be found using the basic catalog search. See "How Can I Search for Objects?" for more information about full-text and basic searches.

  A newly created object that is included in the index cannot be located during a full-text catalog search until a crawl of the catalog has occurred. See "Creating the Data Source for Full-Text Catalog Search" in System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for information.

Custom Properties

This area is read-only and contains system-generated information for troubleshooting object and catalog problems.

Ownership

Use this area to take ownership of the object. This area displays only if the proper privileges were assigned to the user, group, or role. Note that the owner of an object or folder cannot automatically access the object or folder. To access an object or folder, the user must have the proper permissions assigned in the object or folder's "Permissions dialog."

• Set Ownership of this item — Click to become the owner of the item.

• Set Ownership of this item and all subitems — Click to become the owner of the item and any subfolders or subitems contained within the item. For example, if you click this link for a scorecard, then you take ownership of all of the scorecard's components.
