Working with the Property Editor
When you select an asset in the results pane, the asset name appears in the header bar at the
top of the Property Editor. Details of various properties are arranged under a number of tabs,
which we describe in this section.
If you select multiple assets in the results pane, the header bar shows how many are selected.
Asset flags
In the Property Editor, you can select values for various “flags” for an asset. A flag is a property
that has one of (usually) two possible values; changing the value may alter the way in which iTX
handles the asset.
