Properties displayed on this page are stored in a VOB. Some properties can be modified by a user with appropriate privileges. If you change a modifiable property, the change does not take effect until it is applied. The Apply operation checks your privileges and, if they allow you to make the modification, commits the change to the VOB. If you do not have privileges to make the modification, an error message is displayed and the change is not applied.
Each tab of this property page has an Apply button. The button is available as soon as you make a change to a modifiable property. When you click Apply, the changes you have made on any of the tabs of this property page are sent to the server and completed in the VOB. If the changes are applied successfully, the Apply button becomes unavailable until you make additional changes.
The page also has an OK button. When you click OK, any changes you have made (but not yet applied) on any of the tabs of this property page are sent to the server and completed in the VOB, and the page is closed.
