Workspace settings

These settings control the properties that are displayed in the Workspace for a target entry.

Show properties in Workspace option

Display project properties for a single entry, termed the "target" entry, in the top left corner of the Workspace. The target entry is the entry defined by the following conditions:

  • Only one entry is included in the Workspace
  • More than one entry is included in the Workspace, but only one is not fixed
  • More than one entry is included in the Workspace, but only one is selected

If none of these conditions is met, there is no target entry, and no properties are displayed. The symbol in the In column of the Project Table is red for the target entry.

Include property names option

Select this option to include the names of the properties along with the property value, in the form name:value.
