The Identity settings

ClosedTo access this dialog:

  1. In the Administration module, right-click any object and select Properties.

  2. Select General > Identity.

This dialog is similar for many objects in the program. Use these settings to rename an object, provide a description for it and remove the link to a template.

Name

The name of the object.

Description

A description of the object. For example, it can explain what this object is used for.

Enabled

Enables/disables a column of a table field. (Only available when you are editing Columns settings for table fields.)

Linked to template

If applicable, which template the object is linked to.

Based on template

If applicable, which template the object is based on.

Note: When an object is based on a template, it is not linked to that template or affected by changes in the template. In effect, the object is (or was) simply a copy of the template as it was when the object was created.

Created

When the object was originally added to the system.

Last modified

When any of the settings were last adjusted.
