Field Description
Name

This is the name of the file as entered in the New File dialog box. You can change the information in this field on any page of the wizard.

Owner

This field displays your user ID. Because you are creating the file, Open Plan identifies you as its owner. Only you or the security administrator can assign access rights to the file to other users. Access rights are assigned on the Access Control tab of the file’s Properties dialog box.

This field displays the description of the file. While this description may have been entered in the New File dialog box, it may also be entered or changed on any page of the wizard.
