Menu Option	Action	See also
Properties	(Not for the My Views, Recent Team Reviews, initial Model Views or Technology-defined root nodes.) Display the appropriate 'Properties' dialog for the selected object. You can edit any of the properties, if required; changes to objects populated from the model are reflected in all other views (Properties window, diagrams, reports) of that object. The 'Properties' option for the Documents and Comments folder displays the 'Recent Post Options' dialog, which enables you to specify the number of days back from which to extract postings from the Team Review, and the number of postings to list. The 'Properties' option for a Slideshow folder displays the 'Slideshow Properties' dialog, which enables you to automate the slide show and set the number of seconds for which each diagram is displayed. If you deselect the 'Enable' checkbox, you must press Spacebar to display each diagram.	Diagram Slide Show
