Edit attributes

The attribute you selected can be edited. You cannot change or delete attribute values of attributes that the system defines. These are placed in gray cells, for example, Last change.

Procedure

  1. Click Properties Properties. The Properties bar opens.
  2. Click the Attributes tab if it is not activated yet.
