VersionVault VOB properties
Use the HCL VersionVault VOB properties page to view or edit properties of a VOB.
A VOB is a VersionVault repository that stores file and directory elements. A VersionVault view can have zero or more files or directories loaded from a VOB. The properties displayed on this page apply to the VOB itself. If the selected resource is not a VOB, this page displays the properties of the VOB that contains the selected resource.
Changes are applied when focus is removed from the item being changed. For example: a Description field is modified by typing new text or changing existing text. As soon as focus is moved away from the Description field, the change is applied. Clicking anywhere outside the Description field is sufficient to move focus and apply the change. Clicking the OK button is another way to move focus and to apply any changes.
