Editing Role and Workset Properties

Use

You can define and change the properties of freestyle roles and worksets in their Properties editors. In the editor, the object properties are grouped into two categories: Basic and All . When you choose the All link, all properties are displayed in an alphabetical list.

Among the many properties available for freestyle roles and worksets, pay attention to those listed in the following table. The properties are available for the root nodes of roles, worksets, and folders, unless otherwise specified.
