The Object Inspector pane

The Object Inspector pane displays the properties of the object selected in the Configuration Components pane (not the Process area, however). You can edit some of these properties directly from the Object Inspector, simply by clicking on the property.

The Object Inspector also displays information about the Job File while it is being processed in Debug mode. Seeing how files change as they travel down a process can provide valuable debugging information. You can even change some of the job information from the Object Inspector (such as Job Infos) while debugging.

Editing properties

To edit properties of processes, documents, and printers in the Object Inspector:

1. In the Configuration Components pane, select a process, a document (either a document in the Connect Resources or PPS/PSM Documents, or a document assigned to a printer queue) or a printer queue. The selected object’s properties appear in the Object Inspector.

   Note: When you select a group (folder), no information is displayed in the Object Inspector, because what is really selected is the group heading and not the items included in the group.

2. In the Object Inspector, click an editable property.
3. Depending on the values that can be entered for the selected property, edit the value by typing one or by selecting a new one from the drop-down list.

Note: If you select multiple objects in the Configuration Components window, some properties that are shared between those objects can be changed in the Object Inspector. Changing a property changes it for all the selected objects.
