Enable Linked Catalog

Enables to link the selected resources with a catalog. Not available when the selected resources are on the root of the server resource tree.

This option works on report, library component and folder resources. For the folder resources, when they are linked with a catalog, reports/library components and subfolders resided in the folders can then inherit the linked catalog from the folders once their Enable Linked Catalog property is enabled.

When a resource is linked with a catalog, even if the resource and the catalog are not in the same directory, it can still be run with the catalog.

  • Use Specified
    Links the resources with a catalog in the server resource tree.
  • Use Inherited
    Links the resources with the linked catalog inherited from their parent folder. Note that if the parent folder of the selected resources does not enable linked catalog, you are not allowed to select this option.

Apply Archive Policy

Applies an archive policy to versions of the selected resources.

  • Archive as New Version
    Specifies whether to use multiple versions for the resources.
    • Maximum Number of Versions
      Specifies the maximum number of versions that will be listed in the version tables of the resources. The default value is 0, which means that the version number is unlimited.
  • Replace Old Version
    Specifies to replace the old version when a new version is generated.

Permission

Specifies permissions of roles/users/groups on the selected resources. This tab is available when the resources are in a public folder and when you have the Grant permission on the selected resources.
