Project attributes

Purpose

Attributes of MCS projects that you complete in the New Project wizard, and view or edit in the project Properties dialog.

Generally, only the Standard device repository file and Policy source directory controls appear on the Properties dialog, and both values can be edited. If you have specified that a project is enabled for collaborative working, all the controls in the Properties dialog will be disabled, with the exception of the Standard device repository file setting.
