Viewing or Modifying Item Properties

This section explains how to use the standard properties dialog to edit item properties. Depending on how your team has set up the application, you may see a totally different dialog box called an alternate property editor (APE).

Every time the properties of an item are modified, a new revision of that item is created. If you modify a property, you should also create a revision comment explaining the modification using the Comment tab provided in the Properties dialog box.

  1. Select an item in one of the StarTeam or Eclipse views.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select an item and double click on it.
    • Right-click the folder or item and choose Properties.
  3. Modify any of the property fields in the corresponding Properties dialog box that opens, then click OK.
