Each IBM® Enterprise
Records entity
has an associated set of information pages that you can access by
clicking its Get Info icon ().
The information pages of an entity provide property information in
views. With appropriate security access, you can view and modify the
property values of the entity. From the information pages, you can
perform different actions on the entity that you are viewing. These
actions usually correspond to the menu associated with the entity
in the Browse tab.
To view and modify properties of an entity:
If you modify properties in a view but do not apply them before moving to another properties page, the modified page is marked. The page is shown with a pencil icon. If you do not click Apply on each page as you modify it, return to each page with a pencil icon and click Apply. If you do not, those changes are lost when you exit the information pages. Properties are shown as read-only or editable based on the functional rights that are available to your role.
To print properties of an entity:
The Printable View link in some information pages provides a unique list of properties in a format that you can print. For an entity, the printable view list is usually the same regardless of the information page from which you access the report. The content of the report varies depending on the type of entity. To see the Printable View list:
The following table describes the views that are available on the information pages. Each type of entity has its unique set of views.
