Viewing and Modifying Attributes

You can view and modify the different attributes of documents.

Required access roles: Author, Leader, Owner

If you open a read-only document and then check out or lock it, the attributes can be modified.

You can modify file attributes without any change to the physical file. For each modification, 3DEXPERIENCE checks whether the mandatory fields are populated.

Note: Depending on your authorization or the system settings when the object was created, some attributes are read-only
